The grant of the warrants will be subject to shareholder approval (which the Company is confident will be granted) at a General Meeting of the Company ("GM") to be held at 10.30a.m. today at the offices of Pinsent Masons LLP, 30 Crown Place, Earl Street, London, EC2A 4ES.

Following this grant, there will be 42.320m warrants in issue. 2.4m of these warrants expire on 27 August 2015 and 39.920m warrants expire on 14 February 2020.  All of the warrants have an exercise price of 20p.
