STATUS OF NOMINATED ADVISER

On 10 October 2017 the Company was notified that the London Stock Exchange has decided to remove the nominated adviser status of the Company's nominated adviser, ZAI Corporate Finance Limited, on the basis that it no longer meets the continuing eligibility criteria in Rule 2 of the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers.

The removal will take effect at 7am on 19 October 2017. At that point the Company's shares will be suspended from trading on AIM, pursuant to AIM Rule 1. In the event that a replacement nominated adviser is not appointed by 20 November 2017, admission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled.

The Board of Directors of the Company is in talks with potential nominated advisers and hopes to update the market shortly.
