Restrictions on the Transfer of Securities

Lock-In Arrangements

In accordance with the AIM Rules, lock in deeds (the "Lock-in Deeds") have been entered into by the Directors, related parties and applicable employees (as defined in the AIM Rules) (the "Locked-in Shareholders").

Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-in Deeds, the Locked-in Shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to the Company, the Broker and Grant Thornton Corporate Finance that:

(a) for a period of 12 months or 18 months from the date of Admission (as appropriate - see tables below), they will not dispose of any legal, beneficial or any other interest in any security of the Company; and

(b)  during the period after the first anniversary of Admission and prior to the second anniversary of Admission or during the period after expiry of 18 months from Admission and prior to the expiry of 30 months from Admission (as appropriate - see tables below) they will not dispose of or agree to dispose of any legal, beneficial or any other interest in any security of the Company unless:

(i) they have consulted the Company's broker from time to time (the "relevant broker") in relation to such disposal; and

(ii) such disposal is effected through the relevant broker in such a manner as the relevant broker may reasonably require in order to maintain an orderly market in the Ordinary Shares, provided that this restriction shall only apply if the relevant broker executes such disposal within a reasonable period of being requested to do so, and that the commission and fees proposed to be charged by the relevant broker on each such transaction is competitive with those charged by other reputable brokers, (the "Lock-in Restrictions").

The Lock-in Restrictions will not apply in the following limited circumstances:

(a) any disposal pursuant to the acceptance of a general, partial or tender offer (as defined in the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers) made to acquire the whole or part of its issued share capital of the Company;

(b) any disposal made pursuant to an intervening Court order; and

(c) any disposal made in the event of death.

In addition, the following two shareholders have executed an orderly market deed pursuant to which they have agreed not to dispose of any interest in certain Ordinary Shares of the Company (except in the circumstances referred to in (b)(i) and (ii) above) for a period of 12 months following Admission:
