The Company has issued and allotted 841,237 new ordinary shares. Of these, 356,953 new ordinary shares were issued pursuant to the exercise of options at an exercise price of 25 pence per ordinary share and the remaining 484,284 new ordinary shares were issued in lieu of fees, of which 212,329 new ordinary shares have been issued to Mohit Davar, Non-Executive Director.

Following the issue of the new ordinary shares to Mohit Davar, he will be interested in a total of 665,064 ordinary shares representing 0.16 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company.

Accordingly, application has been made for the 841,237 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will take place on 22 August 2014.

The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 410,413,650 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. No shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 410,413,650.

This figure of 410,413,650 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 FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
