   Merger Update: Approval of Scheme 
 
   This announcement is made by the Companies in connection with the scheme 
of reconstruction of OVCT (the "Scheme"), details of which were 
contained in the prospectus and circulars issued by the Companies on 24 
October 2014. 
 
   The boards of directors of the Companies are pleased to report that the 
resolution proposed at the second general meeting of OVCT held today 
(the "Second General Meeting") was duly passed and that the Scheme has 
become unconditional. 
 
   In implementing the Scheme, the assets and liabilities of OVCT have been 
transferred to Apollo, in consideration for the issue of a total of 
52,035,840 C ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of Apollo to the 
former shareholders of OVCT ("Scheme Shares") at a deemed issue price of 
97.8p per Scheme Share. 
 
   Following the issue of the Scheme Shares, the total number of Apollo's 
issued ordinary shares of 10p each is 76,572,663 and the total number of 
Apollo's issued C ordinary shares of 1p each is 52,035,840. 
 
   Following the implementation of the Scheme, OVCT has been placed in 
members' voluntary liquidation. 
 
   Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Scheme 
Shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed 
securities and it is expected that the Scheme Shares will be admitted to 
the Official List and that trading will become effective on 1 December 
2014. 
 
   OVCT also announces that further to the resolution passed at the Second 
General Meeting, the listing of its ordinary shares of 1p each on the 
Official List of the UK Listing Authority will be cancelled with effect 
from 8am on 1 December 2014. 
 
   As a result of the Scheme becoming effective, Tony Morgan has resigned 
as a director of Apollo and James Otter has been appointed as a director 
of Apollo.
