The Company has been notified that the Trustee of the Company's HMRC Approved Employee Share Acquisition Plan ("ESAP") has purchased 7,500 ordinary shares of 20 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in accordance with the ESAP's rules and on behalf of all ESAP participants.

The shares were purchased on 2 October 2014 at a price of 350 pence each in respect of the six month accumulation period ended on 30 September 2014.

Under the terms of the ESAP, participating members, including employees and certain Directors of the Company, contribute a fixed amount to the Trustee on a monthly basis. The Trustee acquires a number of shares in the Company at the end of the contribution period (the "Period") (normally 6 months) based upon the contributions made in the preceding period and determined by the lowest share price at either the beginning of the Period or on the purchase day. In this instance the share price used for allocation of the number of shares for ESAP purposes was the price on the purchase day.

As a result of these purchases, the Company has been notified that John Shepherd and Nigel Poultney, directors of the Company, have each acquired an interest in 257 Synectics shares each.
