It is expected that the shares will be admitted to trade on the Official List on 12 April 2018. The shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

Mr Hellawell also holds 1,204 free shares which were awarded under the Company's Share Incentive Plan on 11 December 2015 which are no longer subject to a holding period.

Following these transactions, Mr Hellawell and the persons closely associated with him (namely Mandy Hellawell and The Highgate Family Trust) hold in aggregate 13,030,155 ordinary shares, which represent approximately 6.6% of the Company's issued share capital.

Total Voting Rights
