Completion of Share Cancellation and Holdings in Company

The Company is pleased to announce the process for cancellation of the 1,874,419 Ordinary Shares purchased under the Repurchase Agreement has now been completed. The Company has also cancelled the 34,500 Ordinary Shares that were previously held in Treasury.

Consequently, the issued share capital of the Company is now 9,372,100 Ordinary Shares all with voting rights. The Company now has no Ordinary Shares held in Treasury.

The total number of current voting rights in the Company is therefore 9,372,100 Ordinary Shares. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change in their interest in, the Company.

As a result, the Company has been informed that the significant shareholdings in the Company (excluding Directors) are as follows:
