Total Voting Rights
In respect of the month of July 2017, the Company has on 26 July
2017 issued 27,084 new ordinary shares as part of the Company's
Share Incentive Plan ("SIP").
In conformity with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure
and Transparency Rules, the Company confirms that, as at 26 July
2017, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company consisted of
456,992,042 shares with voting rights attached (one vote per
ordinary share).
The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury at the date of
this disclosure. The issued share capital figure can be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which to
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a
change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure
and Transparency Rules.
The issue of shares under the SIP has been made under the
Company's existing block listing entitlement.
Blocklisting Application
The Company has in place a blocklisting for the allotment of new
shares under the Company's SIP. In order to provide for the
anticipated issue of shares under the SIP for the remainder of the
current tax year, the Company has applied for a further 500,000
ordinary shares to be blocklisted (the "Blocklisting Shares").
The Company's HMRC approved SIP has been in place since March
2012 and is made available to all employees of the Company
including executive Directors who are entitled to participate on an
equal basis subject to HMRC limits. Participants can purchase
shares in the Company on a monthly basis and receive matching
awards of shares and all employees and executive Directors are
eligible to receive an annual award of free shares, the level of
which is determined by the Company's Remuneration Committee.
The Blocklisting Shares are expected to be admitted to trading
on AIM on 2 August 2017.
