Proof 5: 29.5.14 THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you are in any doubt about the contents of this document or the action that you should take, you should consult a person authorised under FSMA who specialises in advising on the acquisition of shares and other securities. If you are not in the United Kingdom you should immediately consult another appropriately authorised independent financial adviser. This document is an AIM admission document drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules for the purpose of the application for admission to trading of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company on AIM. This document does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Rules and it has not been, and will not be, approved by or filed with the FCA under the Prospectus Rules. This document contains no offer of transferable securities to the public within the meaning of section 102B of FSMA, the Companies Acts 1985 or 2006 of England and Wales or otherwise. AIM is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. AIM securities are not admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority. The AIM Rules for Companies are less demanding than those of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser. Each AIM company is required pursuant to the AIM Rules to have a nominated adviser. The nominated adviser is required to make a declaration to the London Stock Exchange on admission in the form set out in Schedule Two to the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers. The London Stock Exchange has not itself examined or approved the contents of this document. Application will be made for the whole of the ordinary share capital of the Company, in issue and to be issued, to be admitted to AIM. No application is being made for admission of the Shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and no application has been or is being made for the Shares to be listed on any other recognised investment exchange. It is expected that Admission will become effective and unconditional dealings in the Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 5 June 2014. The Company, whose registered office address appears on page 8 of this document, and the Directors, whose names appear on page 8 of this document, accept full responsibility for the information contained in this document, including individual and collective responsibility for compliance with the AIM Rules, and confirm, having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information. Prospective investors should read the entire document and, in particular, the section headed ‘‘Risk Factors’’ when considering an investment in the Company.
