RESULT OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held today, all Ordinary Resolutions set out in the Annual General Meeting Notice sent to Shareholders dated 1 June 2018 were duly passed.

The Board noted significant percentage votes against resolution 6 and 15. Resolution 6 relating to the re-election of  Christopher Legge and resolution 15 relating to the dis-application of pre-emption rights contained in the Articles so that the Board has authority to allot and issue (or sell from treasury) Ordinary Shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis equivalent to a further 10 per cent. Total voting in relation to all resolutions was low, reflecting only 14.31% of the total shares in issue. The Board will continue to engage with shareholders in order to fully understand their views in relation to the specific authorities sought.
