The new Ordinary Shares have been issued under the terms of the agreement, completed in September 2009, to acquire The DDG Network Limited together with Double D Management LLP, ("Snowball"). The shares were issued to satisfy the deferred element of the consideration in respect of the year from 1st September 2010 to 31st August 2011, as per our announcement on 17th September 2009.

Admission of the new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM is expected to become effective at 8.00am on 6th October 2011 (the "Admission").

On Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company will be 176,445,113.
