Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the 12,000,000 Placing Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 24 August 2016. The Placing Shares will rank pari pasu in all respects with all existing Ordinary Shares in the Company. Following admission of the Placing Shares, the Company will have 63,300,584 Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights. This figure may be used by the Company's shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the share capital of the Company under the DTRs. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

As previously announced, completion of the Acquisitions is expected to occur on or around 31 August 2016 and application will be made for the Tarco Initial Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading on or around that time.
