Business Review update and proposed Board changes

Following the successful fundraising and Board changes, the new Board continues to review how best to maximise the value of the Company's two core business units, namely location verification and data and insights. Whilst discussions continue, both internally and externally, it has been concluded that in view of the current scale of these businesses, immediate steps are necessary to reduce operating costs. As a result, notice has been given to both Mark Slade (CEO) and David Rae (CFO), each of whom have 12 month notice periods. Both Mark and David will remain as employees and members of the Board for as long as is necessary to realise value from the existing businesses.

Simon Wilkinson, Non-Executive Chairman, commented "I would like to place my thanks on record to Mark and David, who were instrumental in the recent fundraising which has given the Company a huge opportunity to deliver value for shareholders. I look forward to continuing to work with Mark and David to realise the best value from the existing businesses."
