The new Ordinary Shares were issued following the exercise of warrants ("Warrants") to subscribe for Ordinary Shares.

It is expected that admission and dealings will be effective and commence from 10 February 2011.
On admission to trading of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 57,933,679 Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights.
