Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for 980,657 Shares to be admitted to listing on the standard listing segment of the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for such shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market for listed securities.  It is expected that Admission will become effective, and dealings in the new ordinary shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 12 January 2017.

Following this allotment, the total number of ordinary shares with a nominal value of £0.01 each (the "Ordinary Shares") in issue and the total number of voting rights in the Company is 22,879,733.  There are no shares held in treasury. The figure of 22,879,733 Ordinary Shares and voting rights may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
