Total voting rights

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Conditional Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and this is expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on Tuesday 18 July 2017 ("Admission"). On admission the Company's issued share capital will consist of 552,701,574 ordinary shares of 0.125 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"). No shares were held in treasury at the date of this announcement.

The total of 552,701,574 Ordinary Shares may therefore 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 FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
