Following Admission, the Company will have a total issued share capital of 116,918,572 Ordinary Shares each carrying one voting right. The Company holds 8,546,095 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 116,918,572.

In order to settle the income tax that is immediately due on this share issue, on the same day Mr Hamers sold 22,000 ordinary shares at a price of GBP8.75 per share. Following the share issue and share sale, Mr Hamers is beneficially interested in 208,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.18 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.
