Result of Tender Offer

The Company announces the result of the Tender Offer set out in its circular to Shareholders dated 12 July 2013 (the "Circular"), which closed on 2 August 2013 following Shareholder approval at the General Meeting of the Company held on 1 August 2013.

573,112 Ordinary Shares were validly tendered under the Tender Offer. All valid tenders will be satisfied in full pursuant to the terms and conditions set out in the Circular. Accordingly, 573,112 Ordinary Shares will be purchased at a price of 563 pence per Ordinary Share, resulting in a total aggregate consideration of approximately GBP3.2 million payable to tendering Shareholders.

The repurchase of Ordinary Shares by the Company from N+1 Singer is expected to occur on 7 August 2013 (and will be initially held in treasury) and the Company will make a further announcement upon the completion of such purchase to notify Shareholders of the Company's total voting rights for the purpose of determining whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
