----------------------  --------  -----------  ----------------------- 
 

All Options commence vesting backdated from 1 August 2017.

The strike price is based on the closing price on 4 January 2018, and the Options are exercisable on the date of vesting. Authority for the allotment of ordinary shares under the Share Option Scheme was approved as a part of the Company's Annual General Meeting.

In addition to the above Options allocation, the Company has issued 799,562 ordinary shares in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares"), representing 0.38% of the enlarged issued share capital, to certain of its Board members (current and former) in payment of directors' fees due them. The issue of Ordinary Shares is calculated based on the closing mid-market price for the five days leading up to the close on 4 January 2018. Following this issue the current directors' shareholdings in the Company are as follows:

 
        Director            Number of     Total Shareholding     Percentage 
                           New Ordinary                              of

-----------------------  --------------  -------------------  --------------- 
 

Admission of the 799,562 New Ordinary Shares, ranking pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, to trading on AIM is expected on 17 January 2018. Following the issue and allotment of the New Ordinary Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company will increase to 209,975,450 ordinary shares with each share holding one voting right. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
