Exercise of Share Warrants

The Company announces that application has been made for the admission to AIM ("Admission") of 740,878 new ordinary shares without par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), pursuant to the exercise of warrants. The new Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares and dealings are expected to commence on 14 May 2010.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 134,269,070 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 134,269,070.

This figure of 134,269,070 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
