Directors Dealings

The Company announces that 12,174 new ordinary shares in the Company were allotted and issued on 20 April 2017.

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 12,174 new ordinary shares as follows:

·     1,739 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Mr Benjamin Elliot.

·     1,739 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Mr Nick Jones.

·     1,739 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Ms Rosemary Leith.

·     6,957 new ordinary shares representing a value of £20,000* to Mr Roger Parry.

(*Based on a closing price of 287.50p as at 19 April 2017.)

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

·     Mr Elliot and Mr Jones will each hold 20,570 shares (representing approximately 0.02% of the Company's total issued share capital).

·     Ms Leith will hold 9,421 shares (representing approximately 0.01% of the Company's total issued share capital).

·     Mr Parry will hold 89,685 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 26 April 2017. The total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in issue following the issue of these new ordinary shares is 105,082,934, none of which are in treasury.

The above figure of 105,082,934 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.
