Application has been made for the admission to trading on AIM of the Conversion Shares ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur on 16 December 2015.  As at Admission, Ascent will have 157,306,900 Ordinary Shares in issue.  There are no shares held in treasury.  The total voting rights in the Company is therefore 157,306,900 and Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator by which they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
