("Kromek" or the "Company")

Block Admission 

The Company announces that an application has been made to AIM for a block admission in respect of 2,510,000 ordinary shares of 1p each ("New Ordinary Shares") in the share capital of the Company (the "Block Admission"). This Block Admission will increase the number of shares under the Company's existing block admission, which is used to satisfy the issue of shares pursuant exercises of options under the Company's EMI Scheme ("EMI Scheme").

An application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), which is expected to occur on 14 September 2016.

The Company currently has a balance of 490,000 shares remaining under its existing block listing, which will be increased to 3,000,000 following Admission. This figure is considered adequate for anticipated exercises of options under the EMI Scheme for the foreseeable future.

The Company's issued share capital will not change as a result of the Block Admission.  The Company expects to publish its usual 6 monthly Block Listing Interim Review on or around 30 September 2016.
