* 50% of the Options granted to Mr Banks include a share price performance condition such that they will only become exercisable in the event that the Company's closing mid-market share price reaches and remains at or above GBP2.20 for at least 15 consecutive trading days during the period commencing on the first day of the 13(th) month following the date of grant and ending on the last day of the 119(th) month following the date of grant.

LTIP - Background

The LTIP has been established to incentivise the Group's key management ("Key Management") to deliver long-term value creation for shareholders and ensure alignment with shareholders' interests. The Group now has more than 70 employees working from six sites in the UK, US and the Far East and the adoption of the LTIP reflects the Group's need to attract and retain high-quality individuals.

Awards under the LTIP are structured as nominal cost options (GBP0.02) with a three-year vesting period and a seven-year life after vesting ("Exercise Period"). A single conditional grant of a maximum number of LTIP Awards ("Award") will be made to the relevant member of the Key Management ("Award Holder") at the outset. The performance conditions that dictate the proportion, if any, of the Award that is capable of exercise by the Award Holder during the Exercise Period, are based upon the Company's sustainable share price performance during the period commencing on the first day of the 13(th) month following the date of grant and ending on the last day of the 120(th) month following the date of grant ("Performance Period").

Share price performance criteria

The LTIP has been structured to ensure that value is created for shareholders before any value is delivered to the Key Management. Accordingly, should the Company's closing mid-market share price not reach and remain at, or above, GBP2.20 for at least 15 consecutive trading days during the Performance Period ("Minimum Target"), then none of the Awards vest or is exercisable and the Awards will lapse in full. The Minimum Target represents a premium of approximately 75% to the closing mid-market price of the Company's Ordinary Shares as at 14 December 2017, being the day before the grant of the LTIP Awards.

Should the Company's closing mid-market share price reach and remain at or above GBP4.20 for at least 15 consecutive trading days during the Performance Period ("Maximum Target"), then 100% of the Awards vest and are exercisable. The Maximum Target represents a premium of approximately 235% to the closing mid-market price of the Company's Ordinary Shares as at 14 December 2017, being the day before the grant of the LTIP Awards. Between the Minimum Target and the Maximum Target, the % of the Awards that vest shall be pro-rata on a straight-line basis. The Awards may lapse in the event of cessation of employment save for certain circumstances, including inter alia, redundancy or retirement in which case, at the Company's sole discretion and subject to performance criteria being met, the Exercise Period may be accelerated.

Grant of LTIP Awards

Grants of LTIP Awards have been made to the following members of the Key Management:
