RESULTS OF PLACING

Further to the announcement dated 11 February 2015, the Board of Target is pleased to announce the successful placing of 25,000,000 new ordinary shares ("New Shares") pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing Programme established under the Prospectus. The New Shares have been placed, subject to Admission, by Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited at a price per New Share of 102.00 pence and the Company has therefore raised gross proceeds of approximately £25.5 million.

The New Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares.

Application has been made for the New Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and unconditional dealings in the New Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 6 March 2015.

Following Admission, the number of ordinary shares that the Company has in issue will be 142,298,226. The total number of voting rights of the Company will be 142,298,226 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The New Shares will be issued in registered form and may be held in uncertificated form. The New Shares allocated will be issued to Placees through the CREST system unless otherwise stated. The New Shares will be eligible for settlement through CREST with effect from Admission.

Commenting, Malcolm Naish, Non-Executive Chairman of Target said:

"This placing was oversubscribed and we are encouraged by the support shown by the current shareholders in Target.  We are also delighted that we have been able to attract new investors hearing the investment story for the first time. We have already identified attractive acquisition opportunities and look forward to being able to report more fully in due course".
