The Company announces that on 14 January 2016 it made the first and final issue of ordinary shares pursuant to the Offer by allotting 5,683,709 ordinary shares of 10 pence each raising gross proceeds of £3.6 million. In accordance with the pricing formula set out in the Offer Document the new ordinary shares were allotted at offer prices of 63.00 pence and 64.50 pence per share depending on whether applications were received direct, through an adviser or through an execution only broker or platform. After taking into consideration the costs of the Offer, net proceeds were approximately £3.5 million.

Applications are now being made by the Company for the ordinary shares which were allotted on 14 January 2016 to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities, and dealings are expected to commence on or around 21 January 2016.

Following the allotment of 5,683,709 ordinary shares, the Company's issued share capital consists of 92,946,284 ordinary shares with voting rights ("Voting Capital") and 2,128,003 shares held in treasury.
