FOR

GREEN COMPLIANCE PLC

TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY MEANS OF A SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

UNDER PART 26 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006

Scheme Effective

The Directors of Green Compliance plc ("Green Compliance") are pleased to announce that the Scheme of Arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 to implement the recommended acquisition by APC Technology Group plc ("APC") of the entire issued share capital of Green Compliance is now effective.

Accordingly, Green Compliance has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of APC. APC has issued and allotted 2 New APC Shares for every 71 Scheme Shares held by Green Compliance Shareholders on the Green Compliance register at 6.00 p.m. on 11 September 2014.

The admission of the Green Compliance Shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled with effect from 7.00 a.m. on 15 September 2014. Application will be made for the admission of 13,404,952 New APC Shares to trading on AIM with dealings expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 15 September 2014.

Following admission of the New APC Shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing APC Shares in issue, APC's total issued share capital will comprise 73,349,493 ordinary shares of 2p each. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, securities of APC.

CREST accounts will be credited with New APC Shares on 15 September 2014 and share certificates in respect of New APC Shares will be despatched no later than 26 September 2014.
