Issue of Options
The Company considers that the award of options linked to the Company's performance is critical to the incentivisation of its directors and employees and to ensure that there is alignment between management and shareholders.

Each Option issued will be exercisable at a price of 7.55p, being the greater of (i) the average closing price for the three dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (ii) the closing price on the dealing day immediately prior to the date of grant, as prescribed in the terms of the Schemes. The following Options have been granted:
1. 985,454 Options to Dr James Millen under the Company's Enterprise Management Initiative Employee Share Option Scheme;
2. 694,287 Options to Dr Christophe Chassagnole under the Company's Enterprise Management Initiative Employee Share Option Scheme;
3. 448,760 Options to Dr Paul Harper under the Company's Non-Employee Share Option Scheme; and
4. 1,371,499 Options to other employees under the Company's Enterprise Management Initiative Employee Share Option Scheme.
The Options vest equally over a three-year period and can be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant.
