* ISC - Issued Share Capital

Capital Reorganisation

Following the approval of shareholders that the existing ordinary shares with a par value of 0.5 pence each ("Existing Ordinary Shares") be consolidated on the basis of 20 Existing Shares for one new ordinary share with a par value of 10 pence each ("New Ordinary Shares"), the Company will now make arrangements with its registrars, Computershare Investor Services Limited (in the UK) and Computershare Trust Company (in Canada) to give effect to this Capital Reorganisation.

The Capital Reorganisation is expected to become effective immediately following the close of business on 19 June 2018. The New Ordinary Shares arising on implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will have the same rights as the Existing Ordinary Shares, including voting and other rights. 

Admission of the New Ordinary Shares to AIM and implications for shareholders holding shares through the UK share register

Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM in place of the Existing Ordinary Shares with effect from 8:00 am on 20 June 2018 ("Admission").

Shareholders who hold Existing Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form will have such shares disabled at 6.00pm on 19 June 2018, and their CREST accounts will be credited with the New Ordinary Shares following Admission.

Following the Capital Reorganisation, existing share certificates will cease to be valid and new share certificates are expected to be dispatched to those Shareholders who hold their Existing Ordinary Shares in certificated form on or around 14 days after Admission.

Listing of the New Ordinary Shares on the TSX and implications for shareholders holding shares through the Canadian share register

The opening trading date for the New Ordinary Shares on the TSX will also be June 20, 2018.

The Company has sent letters of transmittal to shareholders that hold their shares through the Canadian share register for use in transmitting their share certificates to the Corporation's Canadian registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., in exchange for new certificates representing the number of New Ordinary Shares to which such shareholder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Shareholders are encouraged to follow the instructions contained on the letter of transmittal in order to receive the New Ordinary Shares to which they are entitled following the completion of the Consolidation. In order to receive certificates representing New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Consolidation, shareholders must deliver to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (i) their certificates representing Ordinary Shares; (ii) a duly completed letter of transmittal; and (iii) such other documents as Computershare Investor Services Inc. may require. Upon return of a properly completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing Ordinary Shares and such other information as requested by Computershare Investor Services Inc., certificates for the appropriate number of New Ordinary Shares will be distributed without charge.

Certificates for the New Ordinary Shares issued to a shareholder who provides the appropriate documentation described above, shall be registered in such name or names and will be delivered to such address or addresses as such holder may direct in the letter of transmittal as soon as practicable after the receipt by Computershare Investor Services Inc. of the required documents.

No delivery of a certificate evidencing a New Ordinary Share to a shareholder will be made until the shareholder has surrendered its current issued certificates. Until surrendered, each certificate formerly representing old Ordinary Shares shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of New Ordinary Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.

Shareholders are requested to refer to the Notice to familairise themselves with the full details of the Capital Reorganisation and what, if any, action they need to take.  A copy of the Notice can be accessed using the following link -

Note 1:

As set out in the Notice, in anticipation of the Resolutions being passed by the Shareholders, the Company immediately prior to the Meeting issued a further six Existing Ordinary Shares to the Company Secretary (Clive Line, a director of the Company) so as to result in the total number of Existing Ordinary Shares in issue being exactly divisible by 20. These additional shares represent only a fraction of a New Ordinary Share, and that fraction will therefore be aggregated with any other fractions and sold pursuant to the arrangement for fractional entitlements for the benefit of the Company. As a consequence, Clive Line's interest in the share capital of the Company on completion of the Capital Reorganisation is unchanged and no application to AIM will be made in respect of these six additional shares.

Total Voting Rights

With effect from Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 58,764,072 New Ordinary Shares with each share carrying the right to one vote.   There are no shares held in treasury.   The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 58,764,072 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 FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
