The amount of the previously issued convertible security that is currently outstanding will be US$351,950 following this conversion and this amount may still be converted into ordinary shares.

The Company has applied for admission of the 76,660,000 new Shares to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to become effective on 27 March 2015 (‘Admission’). Following Admission, the Company will have 5,481,121,330 Shares in issue with each Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Shares currently held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company therefore will be 5,481,121,330 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules.
