Results of the General Meeting

The Company is pleased to announce that at its General Meeting held earlier today (the "Meeting") all the resolutions set out in the Notice of the Meeting were passed by the requisite majority.

As a result, shareholders have granted the Company's directors the authority to allot and issue 96,666,666 new ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the capital of the Company for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis. This includes authority to allot and issue 8,333,333 new ordinary shares under the Broker Option granted by the Company to Peel Hunt (together the "New Ordinary Shares"). The allotment and issue of the New Ordinary Shares is in connection with the aggregate £5.8 million fundraising by the Company (before expenses) as more fully detailed in the circular sent to the Company's shareholders on 07 February 2019 ("Circular"), and the Company's announcements of 07 February 2019 and 14 February 2019. Unless otherwise defined, the terms used in this announcement have the meanings set out in the Circular.

Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM"). Dealings on AIM are expected to commence at or around 8.00 a.m. on 1 March 2019 ("Admission"). Following Admission, the New Ordinary Shares will be issued and allotted credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of such shares after the date of issue.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the issued share capital of the Company will comprise 249,488,797 ordinary shares, with the right to one vote per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury.  With effect from Admission, this figure of 249,488,797 may be used by shareholders of 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.
