Related Party Opinion
The Extension is considered a related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules. The independent directors (being Simon Chisholm, Tim Hall and Jacques Emsens), having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider the terms of the Extension to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Total Voting Rights
Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company will consist of 638,246,344 ordinary shares of 1 penny each ('Ordinary Shares') with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 638,246,344 and this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
