Each Placing Share has one warrant attached with the right to subscribe for one new ordinary share at 0.35p for a period of two years.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

The participation of John Teeling and James Finn in the Placing is a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The Director independent of the Placing (being David Cockbill) considers, having consulted with SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the participation in the Placing by Mr Teeling and Mr Finn is fair and reasonable in so far as Arkle's shareholders are concerned.
