The second tranche of the Placing, to raise a total £923,800 by the issue of 13,197,138 Placing Shares was conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the resolution to be put to shareholders of the Company at the General Meeting held today.

The Company has applied for admission to trading on AIM ("Admission") for the second tranche of the Placing Shares and it is expected that Admission will take place on 7 June 2016.
Following Admission of the second tranche of the Placing Shares the Company will have 150,486,199 Ordinary Shares in issue, all with voting rights. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company is 150,486,199.
The above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
