The Company will publish an AIM admission document on Monday 20 March 2017.

DEFINITIONS

Other than where defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Fundraising Announcement.

Result of Fundraising

Pursuant to the Fundraising Announcement, the Company is pleased to announce that a total of 37,500,000 New Shares have been successfully placed or subscribed for in the Company at a price of 40 pence per share, with new and existing institutional investors, as well as certain Directors. Pursuant to the Fundraising, the Company has raised gross proceeds of GBP15 million (net proceeds GBP13.8 million after expenses).

Cantor Fitzgerald and Mirabaud acted as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing. Grant Thornton acted as nominated adviser to the Company.

Total Voting Rights

Pursuant to the Fundraising, application will be made for the re-admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Subject to the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms, it is anticipated that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 23 March 2017. The New Shares will be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, the Company will have a total of 45,377,459 Ordinary Shares in issue. 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 Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Related Party Transactions

The participation in the Fundraising by the Directors and their associates, set out in the above table, is deemed to be a related party transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules.

In addition, Arlington and Abingdon, both service providers to the Company have agreed a reduction in their service fees from the date of Admission until the board decides that the Company's financial position justifies the payment of a higher or the full administration fee. Abingdon has agreed a reduction in respect of its service fee pursuant to its service agreement with the Company of 30 per cent. such that the reduced fee is GBP196,000 per annum.

The Service Agreement Amendments are deemed to be related party transactions pursuant to the AIM Rules.

The Director independent of the participation in the Fundraising by certain Directors and their associates, Mark Le Tissier, considers having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Grant Thornton, that the terms of the Directors' and their associates participation in the Fundraising are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.

The Directors independent of the Service Agreement Amendments, being Mark Le Tissier, Nigel Birrell and James Ryan, consider having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Grant Thornton, that the terms of the Service Agreement Amendments are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.
