Gopinath Pillai, Chairman, commented: "As Chairman, I am indeed happy to see Dr.Sam Malafeh's second contribution to the equity of the company. The spirit behind this payment is more important than the money itself. It shows that Sam as the Deputy CEO is confident of the future of the company and feels his investment is safe and is likely to grow. We all share his optimism."

On joining the Group Dr Malafeh agreed to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares at par value of 5p each on the following basis:

 
                  Date           Amount      Subscription     Number

Application has been made for the 2,000,000 new Ordinary Shares arising pursuant from Tranche 2 to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence on 25 January 2017.

In accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the Company confirms that, following these transactions, its issued share capital will comprise 94,277,983 Ordinary Shares of 5p each. All of the Ordinary Shares have equal voting rights and none of the Ordinary Shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 94,277,983. 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 share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules

Following the issue Dr Malafeh is interested in a total of 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 6.36 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
