Earthport plc

("Earthport", or, the "Company")

Issue of Equity

The Company has issued and allotted 155,836 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") lieu of fees.

Accordingly, application has been made for the 155,836 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will take place on 22 July 2016.

The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 476,952,738 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. No Ordinary Shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 476,952,738.

This figure of 476,952,738 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.
