The Company announces that 10,115 new ordinary shares in the Company were allotted and issued on 25 April 2019.

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 10,115 new ordinary shares as follows:

·     1,124 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Mr Benjamin Elliot

·     1,124 new ordinary shares representing a value of £5,000* to Ms Andrea Newman

·     4,495 new ordinary shares representing a value of £20,000* to Mr Roger Parry

(*Based on a closing price of 445p as at 24 April 2019, being the previous business day.)

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

·     Mr Elliot and Mr Jones will each hold 22,968 shares (representing approximately 0.02% of the Company's total issued share capital).

·     Ms Leith will hold 11,819 shares (representing approximately 0.01% 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 2019. The total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in issue following the issue of these new ordinary shares is 105,653,942, none of which are in treasury.
