The Company is pleased to announce that it has resolved to issue a total of 1,107,057 new Ordinary shares of £0.01 in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 4.25p per Ordinary Share as follows to two of its directors in lieu of fees for Q2, Q3 and Q4 2019 and Q1 2020.  The issue of new Ordinary Shares to directors is in accordance with the Company's focus on limiting the outflow of cash from the business, thereby preserving cash for investment opportunities as they present themselves.
