The Placing proceeds will be used to part fund the initial Cash Consideration of Lorien Limited, as defined in the Acquisition Announcement.  Certain directors (Julia Robertson, Eileen Kelliher and Mike Ettling) have also indicated that they intend to participate in the Placing by subscribing for 28,240 new ordinary shares of 1p each at the Placing Price.

Following First Admission on 7 November 2014 and following the admission of the Consideration Shares on Monday 10 November, as defined in the Acquisition Announcement, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will consist of 48,811,541 ordinary shares of 1p each ("Enlarged Share Capital").
