Director/PDMR Dealing and Total Voting Rights

The Company announces that 10,191 new ordinary shares in the Company were allotted and issued on 25 April 2018.

Under the Company's remuneration policy, a proportion of the Non-Executive Directors' annual fee is paid in the form of ordinary shares in lieu of cash, except if an NED has an existing substantial shareholding. Accordingly, the Company has approved the allotment and issue of 10,191 new ordinary shares as follows:

·     1,274 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Mr Benjamin Elliot

·     1,274 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Mr Nick Jones

·     1,274 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Ms Rosemary Leith

·     1,274 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Ms Andrea Newman

·     5,096 new ordinary shares representing a value of £20,000* to Mr Roger Parry

(*Based on a closing price of 392.50p as at 24 April 2018.)

Following this issue, the shareholdings of these NEDs will be as follows:

·     Mr Elliot and Mr Jones will each hold 21,844 shares (representing approximately 0.02% of the Company's total issued share capital).

·     Ms Leith will hold 10,695 shares (representing approximately 0.01% of the Company's total issued share capital).

·     Ms Newman will hold 1,274 shares (representing approximately 0.001% of the Company's total issued share capital).

·     Mr Parry will hold 94,961 shares (representing approximately 0.09% of the Company's total issued share capital).

Application has been made for the admission of these new ordinary shares to trading on AIM with admission anticipated to be on 1 May 2018. The total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in issue following the issue of these new ordinary shares is 105,491,810, none of which are in treasury.

The above figure of 105,491,810 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 Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
