Notes:
-- a vote withheld is not a vote in law and does not count in the total of votes cast.
-- any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the chairman
of the meeting have been included in the 'For' total.
-- the issued share capital of the Company eligible to vote on
the Resolutions was 102,156,422 Ordinary Shares of 1/14 pence
each.
Completion of the Acquisition remains conditional upon
Admission.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the
15,957,447 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It
is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in
the new Ordinary Shares on AIM will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 25
April 2018. On Admission, the Acquisition will be automatically
completed.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the Company will have 118,303,869 Ordinary
Shares in issue with 190,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore
the total number of voting rights in the Company will be
118,113,869; this figure may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change of
interest in, the share capital of the Company.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have
the meanings set out in the circular dated 29 March 2018. Any
changes to the expected date of Completion and Admission will be
notified by the Company through a further announcement.
