However, resolution 4 was withdrawn following the decision by Nicholas Lewis not to seek re-election as a director of the Company. Nick has decided to step down from the Board to focus his time further on his growing business interests elsewhere.

In that time, he has made a considerable and much valued contribution to the success of the Company and my fellow directors and I wish him well in his other ventures." The Company also announced the appointment of Natasha Christie-Miller as a new non-executive director with immediate effect. Marc Vlessing added "Natasha has an extensive background in the media sector and hands-on operational experience which will bring a welcome additional dynamic to the Board. We welcome Natasha to the Board and look forward to working with her." The Company confirms that there are no further disclosures required in respect of Natasha's appointment under Listing Rule 9.6.13.
