Following the Exercise, Dr Greg Bailey will be indirectly

the enlarged issued equity of the Company. Jim Mellon, will be
interested in 17,635,332 ordinary shares, representing 14.83% of
the enlarged issued share capital, comprising of 968,666 ordinary
shares held by Pershing Nominees and 666,666 ordinary shares held
by Vidacos Nominees on his behalf, together with 16,000,000
ordinary shares held by Burnbrae.
Pursuant to the Exercise, 16,835,750 new ordinary shares at no
par value will be issued and allotted as soon as practicable.
Application for admission to trading on AIM of the new ordinary
shares will be made ("Admission") and Admission is expected to take
place on or around 4 August 2017. The new ordinary shares will rank
pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in issue.
It is intended that the Exercise proceeds will provide Conister
Bank Limited ("Conister"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
with additional Tier 1 capital to allow further expansion and
development of business and operations.
In accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, MFG confirms
that, following this issue of new ordinary shares, its issued share
capital will comprise 118,906,002 ordinary shares of no par value.
All of these ordinary shares have equal voting rights and none of
the ordinary shares are held in Treasury. The total number of
voting rights in the Company will therefore be 118,906,002
following Admission.
