subscribers to the open offer completed on 1 August 2016 (the "Open Offer
Warrants"), a holder of Open Offer Warrants has elected to exercise 2,112 Open
Offer Warrants.  Each Open Offer Warrant entitles the holder to one ordinary

pence per Ordinary Share.  Notice of exercise of the Warrants was received by
Vast on 13(th) October 2017.  Accordingly, the Company yesterday issued 2,112
new Ordinary Shares.  £10.56 has been received by the Company as a result of

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for 2,112 new Ordinary

Following Admission, the issued ordinary share capital of Vast will consist of

treasury.  4,683,691,318 represents the total number of voting rights in the
