Issue of Equity

SCOTTY announced on 7 September 2012 that it was seeking to raise a minimum of Euros 350,000 at a price of between Euro 1 and Euro 1.2 per share and that directors and related parties had indicated their willingness in principle to provide the minimum funds. SCOTTY is pleased to announce that it has received applications for 484,820 new ordinary shares of Euro 1 each in the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares"), at a price of Euro 1 per share, representing a premium of 21 per cent. over the mid-market price of the Company's shares at the close of business on the day prior to the issue of equity of Euro 0.825.

The New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the Company. Application has been made for the shares to be registered in the Austrian companies register. Following this registration, application will then be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM.
