Block Admission

The Company announces that an application has been made for a block admission to trading on AIM in respect of 1,112,561 ordinary shares of 1p each ("New Ordinary Shares") in the share capital of the Company (the "Block Admission"). It is expected that such admission will become effective on 1(st) September 2017. The New Ordinary Shares will be issued from time to time pursuant to exercises of options under the Company's employee share incentive and option plans, namely the 2013 Plans (732,561 shares), the 2014 Plan (50,000 shares) and 2015 Plan (330,000 shares) ("Incentive Schemes"). When issued, the New Ordinary Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

The Block Admission represents the Company's first block admission and is considered adequate for anticipated exercises of options under the Incentive Schemes for the foreseeable future.

The Company's issued share capital will not change as a result of the Block Admission. The Company expects to publish its first six monthly Block Admission update on or around March 2018.
