Notice of General Meeting

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the AIM traded UK and Ireland focused oil and gas exploration, development and production company, is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised total gross proceeds of £2.1 million by the placing of 23,999,993 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Firm Placing and 11,000,007 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Conditional Placing, each at an issue price of 6 pence per New Ordinary Share. Furthermore, it proposes to raise up to a further £1.5 million by the issue of up to a further 24,488,801 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to an Open Offer to Qualifying Shareholders, also at an issue price of 6 pence per New Ordinary Share.

Highlights:

• Firm Placing and Conditional Placing to new and existing institutional and other investors to raise gross proceeds of £2.1 million
• Open Offer to Qualifying Shareholders to raise gross proceeds of up to a further £1.5 million
• Directors have undertaken to make applications to subscribe, in aggregate, for at least 1,370,000 Open Offer Shares representing a participation of at least £82,200
• The Firm Placing and Conditional Placing are being undertaken to provide the requisite financing to accelerate Europa’s near-term work programme across its industry leading position offshore Atlantic Ireland, including:
  • Pre-Stack Depth Migration processing of 3D seismic over LO 16/2 which has estimated gross mean un-risked Prospective Resources of 553 mmboe across two new pre-rift prospects – interpretation work to take the identified prospects to drillable status; conversion to FEL planned to follow
  • Pre-Stack Depth Migration processing of 3D seismic over FEL 2/13, which has identified combined gross mean un-risked indicative and prospective resources for FEL 2/13 of 1.12 billion boe across nine oil prospects – interpretation work to take the identified prospects to drillable status and complete a CPR
  • Acquiring existing 3D seismic volumes and well data for LO 16/20 and LO 16/21, where several large gas leads have been identified with gross mean un-risked prospective resources of 1.5 TCF in the Greater Corrib area of the Slyne Basin, a hydrocarbon play proven by the Corrib gas field. Planned work also includes reprocessing and remapping ahead of completion of a CPR
  • Reprocessing existing 2D seismic for LO 16/22 and mature various pre-rift and syn-rift leads to prospect status - LO 16/22 is located in the Padraig basin on the eastern margin of the Rockall Trough. Europa has mapped gross mean un-risked indicative resources in the range of 300 to 600 million boe on historic 2D seismic
• The Directors believe this near-term work programme will aid Europa in its aim of attracting farm-in partners for the six Irish licences that it does not currently have a farm out partner for
• The Open Offer will provide additional funding for:
  • funding the equity share of a 3D seismic survey over the Cloughton gas discovery in PEDL 343 in order to optimise drilling location
  • funding the equity share of a 2D seismic survey over the Hardstoft oil field in PEDL 299 so as to detail the structure and site a well
  • any additional funds will provide further working capital for the Group

• A Circular to Shareholders in respect of the Conditional Placing and the Open Offer is expected to be posted later today giving notice of a General Meeting of the Company to be held on 12 June 2017 at 11.00 a.m. at the offices of finnCap Ltd, 60 New Broad Street, London EC2M 1JJ. A copy of the Circular will be available on the Company's website www.europaoil.com

Europa’s CEO Hugh Mackay said “The support we have received for this fundraise from new and existing shareholders demonstrates how the market is beginning to recognise the potential for Atlantic Ireland to become a major new hydrocarbon province. Having fully funded our 2017 work programme for our UK onshore licences, including drilling the Holmwood prospect in the Weald and, subject to approval being granted, the development of the Wressle discovery, these funds will enable us to build on the excellent work we have carried out to date across our offshore Ireland licences. Here we have already identified total aggregated gross mean un-risked Prospective Resources of 4.7 billion boe and 1.5 tcf of gas, 2 billion boe of which have been independently audited by ERCE Equipoise.

“Europa has an industry leading position in Atlantic Ireland which is comprised of seven licences covering 5,818 sq km, six play types, three basins, and over 30 prospects and leads. We have set ourselves the target of having at least six drill ready prospects within the next eighteen months. We are now fully funded to accelerate this work and in the process capitalise on any exploration success in the region, be it our own or other operators’. With drilling activity in the region expected to commence in the near term, this is an exciting time for Europa and I look forward to providing further updates on our progress in due course.”

Further information

The Conditional Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, the Company obtaining approval from its Shareholders to grant the Board authority to allot the Conditional Placing Shares and to disapply statutory pre-emption rights which would otherwise apply to the allotment of the Conditional Placing Shares. Accordingly, a General Meeting is being convened for the purpose of considering Resolutions which, inter alia, will give the Directors the necessary authorities to allot the Conditional Placing Shares.

The Board is mindful of and grateful for the continuing support received from Shareholders, and accordingly is offering Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Fundraising by way of the Open Offer to issue up to 24,488,801 New Ordinary Shares to Qualifying Shareholders. A Circular to Shareholders, setting out full details of the Open Offer and the actions to be taken by Qualifying Shareholders in respect of the Open Offer, is expected to be published later today. The Open Offer is not being underwritten and is not conditional on the Placings.

Qualifying Shareholders subscribing for their full Basic Entitlement under the Open Offer will also be able to request additional Open Offer Shares in accordance with the Excess Entitlement, up to the total number of Open Offer Shares available to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer.

The Board considers the Fundraising to be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole, and certain Directors intend to make applications to subscribe for in aggregate at least 1,370,000 Open Offer Shares, including Excess Entitlements, in the Open Offer in respect of their holdings in Ordinary Shares in the Company.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Fundraising to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission of the New Ordinary Shares will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 13 June 2017.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Firm Placing and the Conditional Placing are not conditional on each other. The Firm Placing does not require approval by Shareholders at the General Meeting.

The following text is extracted from the Circular:

Introduction

Europa has conditionally raised approximately £1.4 million by the issue of 23,999,993 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Firm Placing and approximately £0.7 million by the issue of up to a further 11,000,007 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Conditional Placing. The Company also announced that it proposed to raise up to a further £1.5 million by the issue of up to a further 24,488,801 New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Open Offer, giving a total gross Fundraising of up to approximately £3.6 million.

The Fundraising has been undertaken to provide funding for Europa’s near-term work programme and projects. In summary, proceeds from the Placings will be used to fund 3D seismic data processing and reprocessing, CPR production and other geological licence work, offshore Atlantic Ireland, and proceeds from the Open Offer will fund the acquisition of seismic data over certain UK licences and provide additional working capital to the Group. Further details on the specific geological work planned by the Company is set out in paragraph 2 of Part I of the Circular.

The Board is grateful for the continuing support received from all Shareholders, and accordingly wishes to offer Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Fundraising by launching the Open Offer, whereby the Company proposes to issue up to 24,488,801 further New Ordinary Shares to Qualifying Shareholders at the Issue Price.

The Issue Price of 6 pence per New Ordinary Share represents a discount of approximately 16.1 per cent. to the closing middle market price of 7.125 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 23 May 2017, being the last Business Day before the announcement of the Fundraising.

Qualifying Shareholders may subscribe for Open Offer Shares on the basis of 1 Open Offer Share for every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares held on the Record Date. Shareholders subscribing for their full entitlement under the Open Offer may also request additional New Ordinary Shares as an Excess Entitlement, up to the total number of Open Offer Shares available to Qualifying Shareholders under the Open Offer.

The Firm Placing Shares have been conditionally placed at the Issue Price pursuant to existing share issuance authority.

 The Conditional Placing Shares have been conditionally placed at the Issue Price, and are conditional, inter alia, upon the passing of Resolution 1 by Shareholders at the General Meeting, notice of which is set out at Part V (Notice of General Meeting) of the Circular.

The Open Offer is conditional on the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in so far as it relates to the Open Offer, including admission of the Open Offer Shares to trading on AIM.

Admission of the Placing Shares and the Open Offer Shares to trading on AIM is expected to occur no later than 8.00 a.m. on 13 June 2017 or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as finnCap and the Company may agree. Neither the Placings nor the Open Offer have been underwritten.

The Firm Placing Shares and the Conditional Placing Shares (consisting of 35,000,000 New Ordinary Shares) will together raise £2.1 million before expenses.

The purpose of this letter is to outline the reasons for, and to explain the terms of, the Fundraising, to explain why the Board considers the Fundraising to be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole and to seek your approval to the Resolutions at the forthcoming General Meeting, to be held at the offices of finnCap Ltd, at 60 New Broad Street, London EC2M 1JJ on 12 June 2017 at 11.00 a.m. Certain Directors intend to participate in the Fundraising in respect of their own beneficial holdings as set out in paragraph 5 of Part I of the Circular.

Background to and reasons for the Fundraising

The Company is proposing to raise up to £3.6 million (before expenses) pursuant to the Firm Placing, the Conditional Placing and the Open Offer at the Issue Price of 6 pence per New Ordinary Share.

The specific geological work that is expected to be funded by the Fundraising is as follows:

Proceeds from the Placings

• Pre-Stack Depth Migration processing of 3D seismic over LO 16/2 with interpretation work to take the identified prospects to drillable status; conversion to FEL planned to follow.
• Pre-Stack Depth Migration processing of 3D seismic over FEL 2/13 with interpretation work to take the identified prospects to drillable status and complete a CPR.
• Acquiring existing 3D seismic volumes and well data for LO 16/20 and LO 16/21, reprocess and remap leading to completion of a CPR.
• Reprocessing existing 2D seismic for LO 16/22 with interpretation work to mature identified prospects to drillable status.

The Directors believe this near-term work programme will aid Europa in its aim of attracting farm-in partners for the six Irish licences that it does not currently have a farm out partner for.

Proceeds from the Open Offer

• Funding equity share of a 3D seismic survey over the Cloughton gas discovery in PEDL 343 in order to optimise drilling location.
• Funding equity share of a 2D seismic survey over the Hardstoft oil field in PEDL 299 so as to detail the structure and site a well.
• Any additional funds will provide further working capital for the Group.

Net proceeds of the Fundraising will be used, in summary, as follows:	£ million
3D seismic data processing and reprocessing, CPR production and other geological licence work in the Porcupine basin, offshore Atlantic Ireland	1.9
Acquire 3D seismic over Cloughton	1.0
Acquire 2D seismic over Hardstoft	0.2
Working capital	Up to 0.5
Total	Up to 3.6

The Board believes that the net proceeds of the Fundraising will be sufficient to meet the Group’s work programme until the end of 2018 and to meet the Group’s working capital requirements for the same period.

The Issue Price and the Placings

The Issue Price of 6 pence per New Ordinary Share represents a discount of approximately 16.1 per cent. to the closing price of an Ordinary Share of 7.125 pence on 23 May 2017 (being the latest practicable date prior to the announcement of the Fundraising).

In setting the Issue Price, the Directors have considered the price at which the New Ordinary Shares need to be offered to investors to ensure the success of the Fundraising and have held discussions with a number of key institutional investors who have agreed to subscribe for the New Ordinary Shares at that price. In structuring the Fundraising, the Directors have had regard, among other things, to the current market conditions, the level of the Company’s share price and the importance of pre-emption rights to Shareholders.

After considering these factors, the Directors have concluded that the Firm Placing, Conditional Placing and the Open Offer is the most suitable option available to the Company and its Shareholders. The Open Offer component of the Fundraising provides an opportunity for all Qualifying Shareholders to participate by subscribing for Open Offer Shares pro rata to their current holding of Ordinary Shares and to have the opportunity to request Ordinary Shares in excess of their pro rata holding as an Excess Entitlement.

Pursuant to the Firm Placing, 23,999,993 New Ordinary Shares have been conditionally placed with investors at the Issue Price.

A further 11,000,007 New Ordinary Shares have been conditionally placed pursuant to the Conditional Placing with certain institutional investors, including existing Shareholders, subject to the passing of Resolution 1 at the General Meeting.

The Firm Placing and the Conditional Placing are to be effected pursuant to a Placing Agreement, further details of which can be found in paragraph 6.12 of Part IV (Additional Information) of the Circular.

The Board is, as always, mindful that unexpected events, including operational outcomes or events outside the Board’s control, may result in the proceeds of the Fundraising being deployed in a differing manner to that set out above or on a differing timescale to that currently envisaged.

Principal terms of the Open Offer

The Board is offering Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for Open Offer Shares on a pre-emptive basis by launching the Open Offer to issue up to 24,488,801 New Ordinary Shares to Qualifying Shareholders at the Issue Price.

The Open Offer is conditional on the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in so far as it relates to the Open Offer, including admission of the Open Offer Shares to trading on AIM becoming effective by no later than 8.00 a.m. on 13 June 2017 or such later time and/or date (being no later than 5.00 p.m. on 30 June 2017) as finnCap and the Company may agree.

Basic Entitlement

On, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Open Offer, the Company invites Qualifying Shareholders to apply for their Basic Entitlement of Open Offer Shares at the Issue Price. Each Qualifying Shareholder’s Basic Entitlement has been calculated on the following basis:

1 Open Offer Share for every 10 Existing Ordinary Shares

held at the Record Date. Basic Entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares.

Excess Entitlement

Qualifying Shareholders are also invited to apply for additional Open Offer Shares (up to the total number of Open Offer Shares available to Qualifying Shareholders under the Open Offer) as an Excess Entitlement. Any Open Offer Shares not issued to a Qualifying Shareholder pursuant to their Basic Entitlement will be apportioned between those Qualifying Shareholders who have applied for an Excess Entitlement at the sole discretion of the Board. If excess applications are received for more than the total number of Open Offer Shares available following take-up of Open Offer Entitlements, provided that no such applications will be scaled back pro rata to the number of shares applied for by Qualifying Shareholders as an Excess Entitlement. Therefore excess applications may not be satisfied in full. No Qualifying Shareholder shall be required to subscribe for more Open Offer Shares than he or she has specified on the Application Form or through CREST.

Overseas Shareholders

The Open Offer Shares have not been and are not intended to be registered or qualified for sale in any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom. Accordingly, unless otherwise determined by the Company and effected by the Company in a lawful manner, the Application Form will not be sent to Existing Shareholders with registered addresses in any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom since to do so would require compliance with the relevant securities laws of that jurisdiction. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any application or purported application for Open Offer Shares which appears to the Company or its agents or professional advisers to have been executed, effected or dispatched in a manner which may involve

a breach of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction or if the Company or its agents or professional advisers believe that the same may violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements or if it provides an address for delivery of share certificates for Open Offer Shares, or in the case of a credit of Open Offer Shares in CREST, to a CREST member whose registered address would be not be in the UK.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of the Circular or the Application Form, the Company reserves the right to permit any Qualifying Shareholder to apply for Open Offer Shares if the Company, in their sole and absolute discretion, are satisfied that the transaction in question is exempt from, or not subject to, the legislation or regulations giving rise to the restrictions in question.

Part III (Terms and Conditions of the Open Offer) of the Circular, together with the accompanying Application Form in the case of Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders, contains the terms and conditions of the Open Offer.

If a Qualifying Shareholder does not wish to apply for Open Offer Shares, he should not complete or return the Application Form or send a USE message through CREST.

EIS/VCT Schemes

The Directors do not expect the Placing Shares and the Open Offer Shares to constitute qualifying holding for VCT Schemes and to satisfy the requirements for tax relief under the EIS therefore the Company has not applied for confirmation from HMRC in this regard.

Directors’ shareholdings

Certain Directors, being Hugh Mackay, Phil Greenhalgh and Roderick Corrie, have undertaken to make applications to participate the Open Offer and will make applications to subscribe, in aggregate, for at least 1,370,000 Open Offer Shares, as detailed in the table below:

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

finnCap has today entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, finnCap, as agent for and on behalf of the Company, has agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the issued ordinary shares of one penny each in the capital of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Application for admission to trading

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM.

It is expected that Admission will take place on or before 8.00 a.m. on 13 June 2017 and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.

Principal terms of the Placing:

1.                   finnCap is acting as sole bookrunner to the Placing, as agent for and on behalf of the Company.

2.                   Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by finnCap to participate. finnCap and any of its affiliates are entitled to participate in the Placing as principal.

3.                   The price per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") is fixed at 6 pence and is payable to finnCap (as agent for the Company) by all Placees.

4.                   Each Placee's allocation of Firm Placing Shares and Conditional Placing Shares will be determined by finnCap in its discretion following consultation with the Company and will be confirmed orally by finnCap.

5.                   Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a contract note issued to such Placee by finnCap. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that contract note.

6.                   Each Placee's allocation and commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and except with finnCap's consent will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted. Each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to finnCap (as agent for the Company), to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee.

7.                   Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by finnCap or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

8.                   Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

9.                   All obligations under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing".

10.                By participating in the Placing, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

11.                To the fullest extent permissible by law and applicable FCA rules, neither:

(a)           finnCap;

(b)           any of its affiliates, agents, directors, officers, consultants or employees; nor

(c)           to the extent not contained within (a) or (b), any person connected with finnCap as defined in the FSMA ((b) and (c) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate" of finnCap);

shall have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise. In particular, neither finnCap nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of finnCap's conduct of the Placing or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as finnCap and the Company may agree.

Registration and settlement

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a contract note or electronic confirmation which will confirm the number of Firm Placing Shares and Conditional Placing Shares allocated to them, the Placing Price and the aggregate amount owed by them to finnCap.

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by finnCap in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which they have in place with finnCap.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00B03CJS30) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. Settlement through CREST will be on a T+2 basis unless otherwise notified by finnCap and is expected to occur on 13 June 2017 (the "Settlement Date") in accordance with the contract notes. Settlement will be on a delivery versus payment basis. However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and finnCap may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form. finnCap reserves the right to require settlement for the Placing Shares, and to deliver the Placing Shares to Placees, by such other means as it deems necessary if delivery or settlement to Placees is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in a Placee's jurisdiction. If a Placee wishes to receive its Placing Shares in certificated form, it should contact Carly Cella at finnCap on 0207 220 0505 as soon as possible after receipt of its contract note.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 2 percentage points above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank plc as determined by finnCap.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, finnCap may sell any or all of their Placing Shares on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for finnCap's own account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the Placing Price and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of its Placing Shares on its behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

The obligations of finnCap under the Placing Agreement are, and the Placing is, conditional upon, inter alia:

(a)           the Company fully complying with its obligations under the Placing Agreement to the extent that they fall to be performed on or before Admission;

(b)           in respect of the Conditional Placing Shares only, shareholder approval of the Resolution 1 at the General Meeting;

(c)           the Company having allotted, subject only to Admission, the Placing Shares in accordance with the Placing Agreement; and

(d)           Admission having become effective at or before 8.00 a.m. on 13 June 2017 or such later time as finnCap may agree with the Company (being not later than 30 June 2017),

(all conditions to the obligations of finnCap included in the Placing Agreement being together, the "conditions").

If any of the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement is not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived in accordance with the Placing Agreement within the stated time periods (or such later time and/or date as the Company and finnCap may agree), or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

Placees should note that the Firm Placing is not conditional on shareholder approval of the Resolutions.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

finnCap may, in its absolute discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive fulfilment of all or any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement in whole or in part, or extend the time provided for fulfilment of one or more conditions. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Appendix.

finnCap may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

Neither finnCap nor any of its affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees nor the Company shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of finnCap.

Termination of the Placing

finnCap may, in its absolute discretion, by notice to the Company, terminate the Placing Agreement at any time up to Admission if, inter alia:

(a)         the Company fails, in any material respect, to comply with any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement;

(b)         it comes to the notice of finnCap that any statement contained in this Announcement or any other document or announcement issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Placing was or has become untrue, incorrect or misleading in any respect which finnCap (acting reasonably) considers to be material in the context of the Placing;

(c)         it comes to the notice of finnCap that any of the warranties was not true and accurate in any respect which finnCap (acting reasonably) considers to be material in the context of the Placing or a matter has arisen which is likely to give rise to a claim under any of the indemnities under the Placing Agreement which finnCap (acting reasonably) considers to be material in the context of the Placing;

(d)         any of the warranties given by the Company by reference to the circumstances prevailing from time to time has ceased to be true and accurate in any respect which finnCap (acting reasonably) considers to be material in the context of the Placing.

In addition, finnCap may, after having to the extent practicable in the circumstances consulted with the Company, by notice in writing to the Company prior to Admission terminate the Placing Agreement if there has been a force majeure event.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and finnCap that the exercise by the Company or finnCap of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company or finnCap or for agreement between the Company and finnCap (as the case may be) and that neither the Company nor finnCap need make any reference to such Placee and that none of the Company, finnCap nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the "Conditions of the Placing" section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after the issue by finnCap of a contract note confirming each Placee's allocation and commitment in the Placing.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE FOREGOING, THE SHARES MAY NOT BE DEPOSITED INTO ANY UNRESTRICTED DEPOSITARY RECEIPT FACILITY IN RESPECT OF SHARES ESTABLISHED OR MAINTAINED BY A DEPOSITARY BANK. EACH HOLDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THESE SHARES, REPRESENTS THAT IT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.";

20.                none of finnCap, its affiliates and any person acting on behalf of any of them is making any recommendations to it or advising it regarding the suitability of any transactions it may enter into in connection with the Placing and that participation in the Placing is on the basis that it is not and will not be a client of finnCap and that finnCap has no duties or responsibilities to it for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Placing nor in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities contained in the Placing Agreement nor for the exercise or performance of any of its rights and obligations thereunder including any rights to waive or vary any conditions or exercise any termination right;

21.                it will make payment to finnCap for the Placing Shares allocated to it in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Announcement on the due times and dates set out in this Announcement, failing which the relevant Placing Shares may be placed with others on such terms as finnCap determines in its absolute discretion without liability to the Placee and it will remain liable for any shortfall below the net proceeds of such sale and the placing proceeds of such Placing Shares and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties due pursuant to the terms set out or referred to in this Announcement) which may arise upon the sale of such Placee's Placing Shares on its behalf;

22.                its allocation (if any) of Placing Shares will represent a maximum number of Placing Shares which it will be entitled, and required, to subscribe for, and that the Company may call upon it to subscribe for a lower number of Placing Shares (if any), but in no event in aggregate more than the aforementioned maximum;

23.                no action has been or will be taken by any of the Company, finnCap or any person acting on behalf of the Company or finnCap that would, or is intended to, permit a public offer of the Placing Shares in the United States or in any country or jurisdiction where any such action for that purpose is required;

26.                it and any person acting on its behalf (if within the United Kingdom) falls within Article 19(5) and/or 49(2) of the Order and undertakes that it will acquire, hold, manage and (if applicable) dispose of any Placing Shares that are allocated to it for the purposes of its business only;

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, finnCap and each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings given by the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) in this Appendix or incurred by finnCap, the Company or each of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in this Announcement, and further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall survive after the completion of the Placing.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax in the United Kingdom relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct by the Company. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event, the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax and neither the Company nor finnCap shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and they should notify finnCap accordingly. In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares and each Placee, or the Placee's nominee, in respect of whom (or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such non-United Kingdom stamp, registration, documentary, transfer or similar taxes or duties undertakes to pay such taxes and duties, including any interest and penalties (if applicable), forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and finnCap in the event that either the Company and/or finnCap have incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

The representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to finnCap for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

finnCap is authorised and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom and is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the Placing, and finnCap will not be responsible to anyone (including any Placees) other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Placing or any other matters referred to in this Announcement.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that finnCap does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings, acknowledgements, agreements or indemnities in the Placing Agreement.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that finnCap may (at its absolute discretion) satisfy its obligations to procure Placees by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person to do so.

When a Placee or any person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with finnCap, any money held in an account with finnCap on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. Each Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules: as a consequence this money will not be segregated from finnCap's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not as trustee.
