Issue of Equity
Directors' dealing
In the Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September
2017, the Company reported that as part of its continuing
cash-saving exercise which began being implemented across the Group
in 2014, the directors of the Company (the "Directors") shall
continue to be paid 50% of their contractual fees by the issue of
new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company
("New Ordinary Shares") in arrears at an implied monthly price
equivalent to the volume weighted average price of the ordinary
shares of no par value in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary
Shares") at the end of each relevant month.
In addition, Burnbrae Limited ("Burnbrae") (which as reported in
the Interim Report provides accounting, administrative and general
office services to the Company) also agreed that the payment of
accounting and administration fees shall also be satisfied by the
issue of New Ordinary Shares, the issue price of which was to be
calculated on the same basis as for the Directors.
In accordance with this previously stated practice of Directors
receiving New Ordinary Shares as payment in lieu of fees, the board
of Directors (the "Board") has now calculated and issued today
1,064,830 New Ordinary Shares due to the former Directors to settle
GBP25,252 of accrued fees at an average issue price of
approximately 2.37p. The Board has issued today a further 614,200
New Ordinary Shares due to the current Directors to settle
GBP14,360 of accrued fees, as set out below:

Shares. Application will made for admission of the 7,237,579 New
Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission
will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares
will commence on or around 9 January 2018.
Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company's
issued share capital will consist of 388,395,417 Ordinary Shares,
with voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders in the
Company as the denominator for the calculation by which they will
