Re-dating of options

The On-line directors hold 450,000 options which are currently exercisable at below market price, and expire in September 2010. In order to avoid shareholder dilution, those directors have today agreed that they will waive the current rights they have to exercise these options and will amend the terms of the options such that they now become exercisable in September 2015 (subject to normal caveats regarding becoming exercisable prior to that on certain eventualities, for example death of the director or takeover of the Company) and will expire in September 2022. The exercise prices remain the same.

Details are as follows (all options expire in September 2022):

Clem Chambers

150,000 @ 22.75p, now locked up until September 2015

Michael Hodges

150,000 @ 22.75p, now locked up until September 2015

Jon Mullins

150,000 @ 22.75p, now locked up until September 2015

In respect of the amendment to the options held by Mr Chambers, Mr Hodges and Mr Mullins, having consulted with Grant Thornton in its capacity as the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider that the re-dating of these option is fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
