In the Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2017, the Company reported that as part of its continuing cash-saving exercise which began being implemented across the Group in 2014, the directors of the Company (the "Directors") shall continue to be paid 50% of their contractual fees by the issue of new ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") in arrears at an implied monthly price equivalent to the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at the end of each relevant month.

In addition, Burnbrae Limited ("Burnbrae") (which as reported in the Interim Report provides accounting, administrative and general office services to the Company) also agreed that the payment of accounting and administration fees shall also be satisfied by the issue of New Ordinary Shares, the issue price of which was to be calculated on the same basis as for the Directors.

In accordance with this previously stated practice of Directors receiving New Ordinary Shares as payment in lieu of fees, the board of Directors (the "Board") has now calculated and issued today 1,064,830 New Ordinary Shares due to the former Directors to settle GBP25,252 of accrued fees at an average issue price of approximately 2.37p.
