The 136,000 new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company including the right to receive any dividend or other distribution thereafter declared, made or paid. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").

Total Voting Rights

Following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued share capital now consists of 114,317,024 ordinary shares of 1p each, none of which are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 114,317,024.
