The Placing was conducted through an accelerated bookbuild by Liberum Capital Limited ("Liberum") and finnCap Ltd ("finnCap") acting as Joint Bookrunners. The proceeds of the Placing are payable in cash on usual settlement terms and the Placing is expected to settle on a T+2 basis on 25 September 2017.

The Selling Shareholders have undertaken that, without the prior written consent of Liberum and finnCap, they will not dispose of any further Ordinary Shares for a period ending on the first anniversary of completion of the Placing (subject to customary exceptions). Following completion of the Placing, Professional Practice Automation LLP ("PPA"), a limited liability partnership in which David Braben is a member and through which he is interested in 2,001,573 Ordinary Shares, intends to transfer 1,990,573 Ordinary Shares to Mr. Braben's spouse for nil consideration (the "Transfer"). Following the Transfer, which is expected to occur by no later than 30 November 2017, Mrs. Irvin-Braben will be subject to the terms of the lock up agreement.

The Company is not a party to the Placing and will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
