Application was made to the London Stock Exchange for the 500,000 Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the option exercise to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8:00 a.m. on 9 September 2016. The Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in the Company.
