· Early redemption - Any amount of principal may be repaid at a 20% premium (plus accrued interest) at any time and at any time after 90 days the holder can demand payment in full at face value plus accrued interest.
· Conversion - Any principal element of the note can be converted into Common Shares at the discretion of Magna at any time at 85% of the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") for the five trading days prior to conversion, subject to a floor price of £0.00195 (which does not apply if the Company is in default).
· Warrants - The Company has issued Magna with 5,141,779 warrants to subscribe for Common Shares at a price of 0.36p per Common Share. Magna may also exercise warrants at the current VWAP, if lower than the exercise price, by reducing the number of Common Shares received by an amount equivalent to the discount of the VWAP to the exercise price.

An application will be made to AIM to admit the new Common Shares to trading with effect from 13 January 2014. The Subscription and the Loan Note form a combined financing package, with the pricing of the Subscription being calculated on the same basis as a conversion on the Loan Note.
