Transaction in Own Shares and Total Voting Rights

Further to its announcement on 26 July 2018 regarding a proposed share buy-back programme of up to £12 million over twelve months (the Share Purchase Plan"), the Company announces that it has purchased 32,500 ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares"), at a price of 610 pence per share for cancellation. The Company purchased these Ordinary Shares through Cenkos Securities plc acting as its broker.

Date of purchase:	22 August 2018
Number of Ordinary Shares purchased (aggregated volume):	32,500
Price paid per Ordinary Share (pence):	610
Venue where Ordinary Shares are traded	London Stock Exchange (AIM)

Following cancellation of the Ordinary Shares purchased on 22 August 2018, the number of Ordinary Shares admitted to trading on AIM will be reduced to 50,217,421. For the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, following this cancellation, the Company will have 50,217,421 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which none will be held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 50,217,421; this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change of interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Under the Share Purchase Plan, the Company will continue to instruct Cenkos Securities plc to acquire Ordinary Shares for cancellation. The maximum price paid for such Ordinary Shares shall be an amount equal to the higher of (i) 5% above the average of the middle market quotations for the Ordinary Shares for the five business days prior to making any purchase; and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade of and the highest current independent bid for an Ordinary Share on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market. 

Notwithstanding the average daily volume restrictions set out in Article 3(3) (b) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, the Company may make purchases in excess of these volume restrictions, subject to prevailing market conditions and liquidity.
