tranches of £271,500 each subject to certain conditions.

very pleased to have signed this deal with Jasper Capital whose client base
includes some of the biggest names in the Middle East together with companies
seeking to raise finance Islamically and conventionally. Jasper also has long

client opportunities, thereby complementing CCH's growth strategy. We welcome
the Jasper team.'

Commenting on the agreement, Jason Peers , Chief Executive of Jasper, said 'we
are very excited by this further expansion of our already active relationship
with CCH. There is a significant demand for structured solutions and quality
