    D Cutter                   10

    The number of Ordinary Shares allocated comprises those purchased on behalf of
    the employee using an amount which the employee has chosen to have deducted
    from salary ("Sharepurchase") and those awarded to the employee by the Company
    ("Sharematch") on the basis of one Sharematch Ordinary Share for every two
    Sharepurchase Ordinary Shares.

    The Sharepurchase Ordinary Shares were purchased and the Sharematch Ordinary
    Shares were awarded at a price per share of £18.75.

    The Ordinary Shares are held by the Trustee and in the name of the Trustee.
    Sharepurchase Ordinary Shares can normally be sold at any time. Sharematch
    Ordinary Shares cannot normally be disposed of for a period of three years
    after the award date.

    Company, had purchased 441 Ordinary Shares on 10 June 2015 under an arrangement
    with the Company, whereby he has agreed to use an amount of £8,000 each month,
    net of tax, from his director's fees to purchase Ordinary Shares. Dr Humer has
    agreed to retain the Ordinary Shares while he remains a director of the
    Company.

    The Ordinary Shares were purchased at a price per share of £18.75.

    The Ordinary Shares referred to in items 1 and 2 above were purchased on the

    * 1 ADS is the equivalent of 4 Ordinary Shares.

    ** The change from previously announced figure is due to a reclassification of
    1,077 Ordinary Shares, that no longer form part of the number of Ordinary
    Shares held by Mr Cutter.
