("Carclo", the "Company" or the "Group")

Result of Placing

Further to the announcement made earlier today, Carclo announces that, subject to Admission, it has allotted 6,631,026 ordinary shares at a price of 120 pence per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately GBP8.0 million.

It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on or around 19 October 2016. The trade date for the Placing will be 14 October 2016 and settlement is expected to occur on the third business day after such date, being 19 October 2016.

Following Admission of the Placing Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will be 73,007,668 ordinary shares each carrying one vote. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, following Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 73,007,668. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Peel Hunt LLP is acting as sole broker and bookrunner in connection with the Placing.

Unless otherwise defined, the terms used in this announcement have the meaning as set out in the Company's announcement issued earlier today.
