FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

11 November 2015

RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

ENERGY TECHNIQUE PLC

VOLUTION GROUP PLC

to be effected by

a Scheme of Arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

Summary

Under the terms of the Acquisition, each Scheme Shareholder will receive 345 pence in cash for each Scheme Share.

The price of 345 pence per Scheme Share represents a premium of approximately:

-- 18.9 per cent. to the volume-weighted average ETQ share price of 290 pence for the twelve-month period ended 25 February 2015 (being the last business day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and

-- 10.4 per cent. to the closing ETQ share price of 312.5 pence on 25 February 2015 (being the last business day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period).

The Acquisition values ETQ's existing issued and to be issued ordinary share capital (assuming full exercise of options granted under the ETQ Share Scheme) at approximately GBP9.25 million on a fully diluted basis.

It is intended that the Acquisition will be implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act.

The ETQ Directors, who have been so advised by Cavendish as to the financial terms of the Acquisition, consider the terms of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. In providing its advice, Cavendish has taken into account the commercial assessments of the ETQ Directors.

Accordingly, the ETQ Directors have unanimously approved the Acquisition and intend to recommend that ETQ Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting as they have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 408,340 issued ETQ Shares representing approximately 17.08 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of ETQ on 10 November 2015 (being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement).

In addition to the irrevocable undertakings from the ETQ Directors, Volution has also received irrevocable undertakings from each of Peter Gyllenhammar, James Lugg, John Cawthorne and Danny Francis to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 1,173,227 ETQ Shares, representing approximately 49.08 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of ETQ on 10 November 2015 (being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement) and irrevocable undertakings from the ETQ Directors and Gordon Winter to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 199,831 ETQ Shares which are the subject of the ETQ Share Scheme, to the extent that these options are exercised.

The irrevocable undertakings from the ETQ Directors, Peter Gyllenhammar, James Lugg, John Cawthorne, Danny Francis and Gordon Winter will cease to be binding only if the Scheme or Offer lapses or is withdrawn and no new, revised or replacement Scheme or Offer is announced in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code, in its place or is announced, in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code, at the same time. The undertakings will remain binding in the event that a higher competing offer for ETQ is made.

Further details of these irrevocable undertakings are set out in Appendix 3 to this announcement.

Volution has therefore received irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of, in aggregate, 1,581,567 ETQ Shares representing, in aggregate, approximately 66.16 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of ETQ on 10 November 2015 (being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement) and 199,831 ETQ Shares which are the subject of the ETQ Share Scheme.

It is expected that the Scheme Document, containing further information about the Acquisition and notices of the Court Meeting and General Meeting, together with the Forms of Proxy, will be posted to ETQ Shareholders and (for information only) participants in the Share Scheme as soon as practicable and, in any event, within 28 days of this announcement (unless the Panel agrees otherwise). It is anticipated that the Acquisition will complete by the end of 2015.

Commenting on this announcement, Ronnie George, CEO of Volution Group plc, said:

"We are delighted to have received the ETQ board's unanimous recommendation of our offer. This proposed acquisition is consistent with our stated strategy of making disciplined and value enhancing acquisitions. We believe that ETQ has a strong presence as a supplier to the UK New Build Commercial market which is highly complementary to our strong position in the UK New Build Residential sector. We are excited by the growth prospects for ETQ and increasing our scale in the Commercial HVAC sector. We believe the acquisition will deliver value for our shareholders and consolidate our position in the UK HVAC market."

Leigh Stimpson, CEO of Energy Technique plc, added:

"Since we began our discussions with the Volution group, it has been evident that there is a compelling fit between the businesses in terms of culture, technology and market opportunity. The ETQ Board is confident that this transaction is great news for our employees and customers alike."

The Acquisition will be made solely by means of the Scheme Document, which will contain the full terms and conditions of the Acquisition including details of how to vote in respect of the Scheme. Any vote in respect of the Scheme or other response in relation to the Acquisition should be made only on the basis of the information contained in the Scheme Document.

Liberum Capital Limited, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FCA, is acting exclusively for Volution and no--one else in connection with the Acquisition and will not be responsible to anyone other than Volution for providing the protections afforded to clients of Liberum nor for providing advice in relation to the Acquisition or any other matters referred to in this announcement.

Cavendish Corporate Finance LLP, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FCA, is acting exclusively for ETQ and no-one else in connection with the Acquisition and will not be responsible to anyone other than ETQ for providing the protections afforded to clients of Cavendish nor for providing advice in relation to the Acquisition or any other matters referred to in this announcement.

Overseas jurisdictions

The availability of the Acquisition to ETQ Shareholders who are not resident in and citizens of the UK may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are citizens.

Further details in relation to overseas shareholders will be contained in the Scheme Document.

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into jurisdictions other than the UK may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the law of any jurisdiction other than the UK should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable requirements. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. This announcement has been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law, the AIM Rules, the rules of the London Stock Exchange and the Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside of England.

Copies of this announcement and the formal documentation relating to the Scheme and the Acquisition will not be and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction.

US Holders should note that the Acquisition relates to the securities of a UK company, is subject to UK disclosure requirements (which are different from those of the US) and is proposed to be implemented under a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Scheme will be subject to UK disclosure requirements and practices, which are different from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. The financial information included in this announcement and the Scheme documentation has been or will have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US. If Volution exercises its right to implement the acquisition of the ETQ Shares by way of a takeover offer, such offer will be made in compliance with applicable US tender offer and securities laws and regulations.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Acquisition by a US Holder as consideration for the transfer of its Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each ETQ Shareholder is urged to consult his independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to him.

It may be difficult for US Holders to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since Volution and ETQ are located in countries other than the US, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the US. US Holders may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.

In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, Volution or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, ETQ Shares outside of the United States, other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition and/or Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service of the London Stock Exchange and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website, www.londonstockexchange.com.

Forward looking statements

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Volution and ETQ may contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Volution and ETQ about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on Volution and ETQ, the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Although Volution and ETQ believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, Volution and ETQ can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

These factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to consummate the Acquisition; the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other Conditions; the ability of Volution and ETQ to successfully integrate their respective operations and retain key employees; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the Acquisition on relationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; significant competition that Volution and ETQ face; compliance with extensive government regulation; the combined company's ability to make acquisitions and its ability to integrate or manage such acquired businesses. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither Volution nor ETQ, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations (including under the AIM Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the FCA, as applicable), neither Volution nor ETQ is under any obligation, and Volution and ETQ expressly disclaim any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Dealing disclosure requirements

Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8.

RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

ENERGY TECHNIQUE PLC

VOLUTION GROUP PLC

to be effected by

a Scheme of Arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

   1.         Introduction

The boards of directors of Volution Group plc ("Volution") and Energy Technique plc ("ETQ") are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended cash acquisition by which the entire issued and to be issued share capital of ETQ will be acquired by Volution. It is intended that the Acquisition will be implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act.

   2.         The Acquisition

Under the terms of the Acquisition, which will be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix 1 to this announcement and to be set out in the Scheme Document, the Scheme Shareholders at the Scheme Record Time will be entitled to receive:

   for each Scheme Share                       345 pence in cash

The price of 345 pence in cash for each Scheme Share represents a premium of approximately:

-- 10.4 per cent. to the closing ETQ share price of 312.5 pence on 25 February 2015 (being the last business day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period).

The Acquisition values ETQ's entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital (assuming full exercise of options granted under the ETQ Share Scheme) at approximately GBP9.25 million on a fully diluted basis.

   3.         Background to and reasons for the Acquisition

Volution was admitted to the London Stock Exchange on 23 June 2014. One of Volution's strategies is to acquire and integrate businesses with well-established brands in the HVAC and ventilation market, operating in markets underpinned by favourable structural and regulatory dynamics and with an emphasis on heat recovery systems.

ETQ's trading subsidiary, Diffusion, is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of fan coils and commercial heating products to the commercial and residential sectors. Fan coil units, which are manufactured by Diffusion, are a device consisting of a heating or cooling coil and fan. It is part of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") system that is found in residential and commercial buildings and is used to control the temperature in the space where it is installed.

For the 12 month period ended 31 March 2015, fan coil sales accounted for 81 per cent. of ETQ's revenue and the balance was in commercial heating. An average of approximately 30 per cent. of ETQ's fan coil sales over the past two years were in the residential sector in projects such as the Riverlight project in Nine Elms, the Shard (both residential & commercial), Holland Green and 1 Tower Bridge. With the Acquisition, Volution will acquire an established designer, manufacturer and distributor of fan coils and commercial heating products to the UK HVAC sector.

The Volution Directors believe that the Acquisition is also compelling for the following reasons:

Structural growth from regulatory drivers - New residential buildings are increasingly subject to a suite of legislative measures such as the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive ("EPBD"), which mandates all new buildings to be "nearly zero-energy" by 2020 across Europe and is aimed at reducing carbon emissions, and improving energy efficiency in buildings. This can be done by a combination of increasing air-tightness, improving insulation and the use of energy efficient ventilation solutions. As buildings are becoming better insulated to comply with these regulatory measures, the risk of overheating is increasing. For many residential developments, it is becoming increasingly popular to include comfort cooling to ensure that home owners have the best possible environment to live in. Accordingly, much like the demand for Volution Group's energy efficient mechanical extract ventilation ("MEV") systems and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery ("MVHR") products, there are significant structural growth opportunities for manufacturers of high quality manufactured fan coils, particularly those with a focus on residential applications.

Complementary technology - Volution is a leader in the UK in the manufacture and design of MVHR products, particularly in residential new build dwellings. Both ventilation and cooling strategies are designed together, by building services consultants, as there is a relationship between them within the services package. MVHR helps to pre-warm incoming air from the outgoing stale air in the winter and provide cooler external air (through the summer bypass) in the summer. The fan coil further heats or cools the incoming air to the desired temperature. Accordingly, ETQ's technology will be complementary to that offered by the Volution Group.

Enhanced sales channels & customer relationships - The Volution Directors estimate that ETQ has approximately a 25 per cent. market share of the fan coil market in the UK. ETQ has an end-user base which includes Land Securities, Stanhope Properties, Grosvenor Estates, British Land, Marks & Spencer, Boots, Tesco and Sainsbury's. Volution believes lead sharing and coordinated sales efforts will be possible after the Acquisition. The Volution Directors believe that, with ETQ's reputation as a leader in the markets in which it operates, the Acquisition will provide opportunities to secure additional contracts for fan coil and MVHR products in new build residential and commercial buildings. In addition, end-users of the Volution Group will benefit from having access to an enhanced product portfolio and customer service.

Enhanced capacity - ETQ's manufacturing facility in Molesey is currently operating at close to maximum capacity and the Volution Directors believe that there should be opportunities to enhance manufacturing capacity when the ETQ business is combined with the enlarged Volution Group.

Financial metrics - The Volution Directors expect the Acquisition to be earnings enhancing in the first full financial year.

   4.         Recommendation

(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires

November 11, 2015 02:09 ET (07:09 GMT)

Accordingly, the ETQ Directors have unanimously approved the Acquisition and intend to recommend that ETQ Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting as they have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 408,340 issued ETQ Shares representing approximately 17.08 per cent. of ETQ's issued ordinary share capital as at 10 November 2015 (being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement).

   5.         Background to and reasons for the recommendation

As announced by ETQ on 26 February 2015, the ETQ Board decided that it would be in the best interests of ETQ Shareholders to offer ETQ for sale by means of a formal sale process. Cavendish was appointed to conduct the formal sale process and a number of potentially interested parties were contacted.

The ETQ Directors believe there is a strong commercial and cultural fit between ETQ and Volution, in terms of their strategies, products and service offerings. The ETQ Directors believe that combining the two businesses will create a larger and stronger group within the HVAC sector.

The offer price represents a 10.4 per cent. premium to the ETQ closing price on the last trading day prior to the start of the Offer Period and a 18.9 per cent premium to the volume-weighted average ETQ share price for the twelve-month period ended 25 February 2015 being the last business day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period. The ETQ Directors believe the Offer represents significant value for all ETQ Shareholders and, given the limited liquidity in ETQ Shares, provides an opportunity for ETQ Shareholders to fully monetise their shareholdings at an attractive price.

   6.         Irrevocable Undertakings

As stated above, all of the ETQ Directors who hold ETQ Shares have irrevocably undertaken to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their entire beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 408,340 issued ETQ Shares representing approximately 17.08 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of ETQ on 10 November 2015 (being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement).

In addition, Volution has received irrevocable undertakings from each of Peter Gyllenhammar, James Lugg, John Cawthorne and Danny Francis to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their entire beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 1,173,227 ETQ Shares, representing approximately 49.08 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of ETQ on 10 November 2015 (being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement) and irrevocable undertakings from the ETQ Directors and Gordon Winter to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings of, in aggregate, 199,831 ETQ Shares which are the subject of the ETQ Share Scheme, to the extent that these options are exercised.

The undertakings from the ETQ Directors and Peter Gyllenhammar, James Lugg, John Cawthorne, Danny Francis and Gordon Winter will cease to be binding only if the Scheme or Offer lapses or is withdrawn and no new, revised or replacement Scheme or Offer is announced in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code, in its place or is announced, in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code, at the same time. The undertakings will remain binding in the event that a higher competing offer for ETQ is made.

In total, therefore, Volution has received irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of 1,581,567 ETQ Shares which represent approximately 66.16 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of ETQ on 10 November 2015 (being the last business day prior to the date of this announcement) and 199,831 ETQ Shares which are the subject of the ETQ Share Scheme.

Further details of these irrevocable undertakings are set out in Appendix 3 to this announcement. If the Acquisition is subsequently structured as a takeover offer, all the above undertakings will take effect as irrevocable undertakings to accept such offer.

   7.         Information relating to Volution

Volution operates through two divisions: the Ventilation Group, which principally supplies ventilation products for residential construction applications in the UK, Sweden, Norway and Germany and ventilation products for commercial construction applications in the UK. The Ventilation Group also supplies other products such as hand-driers and electric heaters. The other division, Torin-Sifan, supplies motors, fans and blowers to OEMs of heating and ventilation products for both residential and commercial construction applications in Europe.

The Volution Directors believe that Volution is a market leader in the UK residential ventilation products market, one of the leading suppliers in the UK commercial ventilation products market (excluding air handling units), a market leader in the Swedish residential ventilation products market and a market leader in the German decentralised heat recovery residential ventilation systems market. With the addition of the Ventilair Group, the Volution Directors believe that Volution is also a leading operator in the Belgian residential heat recovery market with a growing position in the ventilation solutions for the commercial market.

Volution was admitted to trading on the Premium Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 23 June 2014 with a stated strategy to gain market share through a combination of organic growth and selective acquisitions. Since its IPO, Volution has completed two acquisitions, the first, Brüggemann Energiekonzepte GmbH, a supplier of decentralised heat recovery ventilation in North Germany, and the second, Ventilair Group International BVBA, a leading manufacturer and distributor of residential ventilation products in the Belgian market with additional sales offices in the Netherlands and France. Both of these acquisitions are in addition to the acquisition of Fresh in 2012, PAX in 2013 and inVENTer in 2014 and have extended Volution's strong track record of integrating businesses into the Group. The Volution Directors believe that ETQ, with its complementary technology, product portfolio and experienced management team, would be an excellent fit with the Volution Group.

Current trading, trends and prospects

On 16 October 2015, Volution released its preliminary results for the 12 month period ended 31 July 2015 reporting revenue of GBP130.2 million, adjusted EBITDA of GBP32.1 million, adjusted profit before tax of GBP27.5 million and adjusted EPS of 11.0 pence (a 25 per cent. increase on the prior period). As at 31 July 2015, Volution has net debt of GBP21.2 million, leaving scope for further acquisitions.

In its preliminary results, Volution reinforced its publicly stated ambition to make further earnings enhancing acquisitions.

   8.         Information relating to ETQ

ETQ's trading subsidiary, ET Environmental Limited trading as "Diffusion", is a manufacturer of fan coils and commercial heating products to the UK commercial and residential sectors with a well-known end-user base, well-known brand and over 50 years of trading experience. The Diffusion brand is recognised by the UK heating ventilation and air conditioning sector ("HVAC") as highly engineered, quality products providing strong performance and energy efficiency. For the year ended 31 March 2015, ETQ generated sales of GBP10.775 million.

Diffusion's products are supplied into commercial offices, hotels, airports, retail outlets, schools, and residential developments. Business risk is reduced by third-party M&E contractors installing Diffusion's products. Fan coils are supplied to developments of the major UK property owning companies. Commercial heating end users include retail units, banks and hotels.

Diffusion operates from a 30,000 sq. ft. facility in West Molesey, Surrey, conveniently placed to serve its principal London and South East market.

   9.         Financing

The cash consideration payable by Volution under the terms of the Acquisition will be funded from existing cash resources and drawdowns that have been made from existing borrowing facilities of Volution.

Liberum, the financial adviser to Volution, is satisfied that resources are available to Volution to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable under the terms of the Acquisition.

   10.       Management and employees

Volution attaches great importance to the skills and experience of the existing management and employees of ETQ and expects that they will continue to contribute to the success of ETQ following completion of the Acquisition. Volution also recognises the strength of the ETQ brand and intends to retain it.

It is currently envisaged that, following completion of the Acquisition, ETQ will be incorporated into the UK Ventilation Group and all existing executive management of ETQ will be retained. The existing executive management will directly report to the managing director of the UK Ventilation Group. However, when ETQ ceases to be an AIM traded company following completion of the Acquisition, it is expected that the ETQ Non-Executive Director and the Company Secretary will cease their respective roles as these roles will no longer be required.

Volution confirms that it intends to safeguard fully the existing employment rights of all ETQ management and employees in accordance with applicable law and to comply with Volution's pension obligations for existing employees and members of ETQ 's pension schemes.

ETQ's manufacturing facility in Molesey is currently operating at close to maximum capacity and the Volution Directors believe that there is scope for increasing output. Volution intends to review the operations of the ETQ business following completion of the Acquisition and explore certain ways of enhancing manufacturing capacity. While no decisions have yet been made, this could involve the redeployment of some of ETQ's fixed assets to another of the Volution Group's factories if that is considered the most efficient manner to expand ETQ's manufacturing capacity. If such redeployment did occur, it could result in a small number of employees at ETQ's Molesey site connected with the operation of such assets being affected in the event they were unable to move to the Volution Group's operating site or be redeployed within the enlarged Volution Group.

   11.       ETQ Share Scheme

There are currently 333,050 options outstanding under the ETQ Share Scheme.

It is envisaged that the holders of options under the ETQ Share Scheme will become entitled to exercise their options and will be able to participate in the Acquisition in the event that they choose to exercise their options.

Participants in the ETQ Share Scheme will be contacted regarding the effect of the Acquisition on their rights (if any) and appropriate proposals will be made to such participants in due course. Details of these proposals will be set out in the Scheme Document and in separate letters to be sent to participants in the ETQ Share Scheme.

   12.       Offer-related Arrangements

On 14 July 2015, Volution and Cavendish (on behalf of ETQ) entered into a confidentiality agreement in relation to the Acquisition, pursuant to which, amongst other things, Volution undertook, subject to certain exceptions (including the provisions of the Code), to keep information relating to ETQ confidential and not to disclose it to third parties. The confidentiality agreement further includes customary non-solicitation provisions.

   13.       Structure of the Acquisition

It is intended that the Acquisition will be implemented by way of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement between ETQ and the Scheme Shareholders, under Part 26 of the Companies Act. The procedure involves, among other things, an application by ETQ to the Court to sanction the Scheme, in consideration for which the Scheme Shareholders will receive cash on the basis described in paragraph 2 above. The purpose of the Scheme is for Volution to become the owner of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of ETQ.

The Scheme is subject to the Conditions and certain further terms referred to in Appendix 1 to this announcement and to be set out in the Scheme Document, and will only become effective if, among other things, the following events occur on or before 29 February 2016 or such later date as Volution and ETQ may, with the consent of the Panel, agree and, if required, the Court may approve:

-- resolutions to approve the Scheme are passed by a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote) at the Court Meeting, either in person or by proxy, representing three-quarters or more in value of each class of the Scheme Shares held by those Scheme Shareholders;

-- the Resolution necessary to implement the Scheme is passed by the requisite majority of ETQ Shareholders at the General Meeting;

-- the Scheme is sanctioned (with or without modification, on terms agreed by Volution and ETQ) by the Court; and

   --        an office copy of the Scheme Court Order is delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

Upon the Scheme becoming effective: (i) it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting (and if they attended and voted, whether or not they voted in favour); and (ii) share certificates in respect of Scheme Shares will cease to be valid and entitlements to Scheme Shares held within the CREST system will be cancelled.

If the Scheme does not become effective on or before 29 February 2016 (or such later date as Volution and ETQ may, with the consent of the Panel and, if required, the Court, agree), it will lapse and the Acquisition will not proceed (unless the Panel otherwise consents).

The Scheme Document will include full details of the Scheme, together with notices of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. The Scheme Document will also contain the expected timetable for the Acquisition, and will specify the necessary actions to be taken by ETQ Shareholders. The Scheme Document will be posted to ETQ Shareholders and, for information only, to persons with information rights and to holders of options and awards granted under the ETQ Share Scheme, as soon as practicable. Subject, amongst other things, to the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions, it is expected that the Scheme will become effective on 21 December 2015.

   14.       Delisting and re-registration

It is intended that dealings in ETQ Shares will be suspended at 7.30 a.m. (London time) on the day of the Scheme Court Hearing. It is further intended that an application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of trading of the ETQ Shares on AIM, with effect as of, or shortly following, the Effective Date.

It is also intended that, following the Scheme becoming effective, ETQ will be re-registered as a private company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act.

   15.       Disclosure of interests in ETQ relevant securities

Volution confirms that it is making on the date of this announcement an Opening Position Disclosure, setting out the details required to be disclosed by it under Rule 8.1(a) of the Code.

   --        the irrevocable undertakings referred to in paragraph 6; 
   --        the confidentiality agreement referred to in paragraph 12; and 
   --        this announcement. 
   18.       General

The Acquisition will be subject to the Conditions and certain further terms set out in Appendix 1 and the further terms and conditions to be set out in the Scheme Document when issued.
