All of the directors of the Company are participating in the Fundraising. Their participation in the Fundraising is classified as a transaction with a related party for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. In the absence of any directors not involved in the Fundraising, the Company's nominated adviser, Westhouse Securities Limited, considers that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 68,080,100 ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each, with each ordinary share carrying the right to one vote. There are no shares held in treasury.

The above figure of 68,080,100 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
