The options are exercisable at a price of 0.75 pence per share, vest over three years, in three equal proportions, a third on each subsequent anniversary of the date of grant and are valid for 10 years from the date of grant. 

This award of options is for a total of 128,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company, representing approximately 6.6 per cent of the existing issued share capital. Following the award of the options, there will be 158,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each of the Company under option to directors, senior management and employees of the Company, representing 8.2 per cent of the existing issued share capital of the Company.
