Included within this figure, Chris Jepps, Chief Operating Officer, has exercised share options over a total of 30,952 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 0.25 pence per share.

Following the exercise of the Share Options, Chris Jepps has an interest in 934,178 Ordinary Shares, representing 1.4 per cent. of the enlarged share capital of the Company.
