      Results of General Meeting and Total Voting Rights 
 
Results of the General Meeting 
 
 The Company is pleased to announce that at its General Meeting held earlier 
      today (the "Meeting") all the resolutions set out in the Notice of the 
            Meeting were passed by the requisite majority. 
 
As a result, shareholders have granted the Company's directors the authority 
 to allot and issue 120,317,323 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the 
 capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") for cash on a non-pre-emptive 
  basis. The allotment and issue of the Placing Shares is in connection with 
   the approximately GBP12 million (before expenses) placing by the Company as 
more fully detailed in the Company's announcement of 23 January 2019 and the 
            circular sent to the Company's shareholders on 23 January 2019. 
 
Application has been made for the Placing Shares, which rank pari passu with 
 the Company's existing issued ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on 
    the AIM market of London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM"). Dealings on AIM are 
            expected to commence at or around 8.00 a.m. on 12 February 2019 
            ("Admission"). 
 
            Total Voting Rights 
 
  Following Admission, the issued share capital of the Company will comprise 
       260,052,484 ordinary shares with voting rights attached (one vote per 
       share). This figure of 260,052,484 may be used by shareholders of the 
 Company as the denominator for the calculation 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.

       a percentage (rounded to two decimal places) of votes
