The Company has also agreed to issue a total of 1,840,449 restricted Ordinary Shares (the "Restricted Shares") to senior members of staff, including certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities, as detailed below. The Restricted Shares will be subject to a six month lock-in from the date of issue, during which they cannot be sold or transferred.

Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the award of the Restricted Shares will be satisfied from the pool of Ordinary Shares currently held in treasury. It is intended that Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options will also be satisfied from the pool of Ordinary Shares held in treasury.

Following the issue of the Restricted Shares, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue and admitted to trading on AIM will remain at 173,575,741, comprising 2,027,551 Ordinary Shares held in treasury and 171,548,190 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The figure of 171,548,190 Ordinary Shares should be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
