Application for Admission

Tarsus announces that in order to satisfy an exercise of a share option, on 16 October 2012 the Company allotted 200,000 Ordinary Shares of 5p each (the "Shares"). An application has been made for the Shares to be admitted to the Official List of the UKLA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place on 23 October 2012.

Subsequent to this allotment, the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company in issue as at the date of this announcement is 95,425,924 with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 95,425,924.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Tarsus, under the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules.
