RESULT OF PLACING

Accordingly, the Board has resolved to accept applications in respect of 19,999,999 new ordinary shares of ("Placing Shares") at 100.0 pence per Placing Share, raising gross proceeds of 20 million.
Application has been made for all of the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take effect, and dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 November 2017.
The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue. 
Immediately following Admission, the Company will have 119,999,999 ordinary shares in issue and therefore the total voting rights in the Company will be 119,999,999.

The Placing Shares allocated will be issued to placees through the CREST system unless otherwise stated. The Placing Shares will be eligible for settlement through CREST with effect from Admission.Share certificates in respect of the Placing Shares are expected to be despatched in the week commencing 27 November 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter.
