The Company currently does not have sufficient authority to allot the New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Placing. Accordingly the Resolutions, summarised below, are being proposed at the General Meeting to ensure that the Directors have sufficient authority to allot the New Ordinary Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis.

Resolution 1

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution to grant authority to the Directors under section 551 of the Act to allot shares in the Company or to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in the Company up to an aggregate nominal amount of GBP646,155, such authority expiring on 1 December 2014.

If Resolution 1 is passed the Directors will have the authority, under the Act, to allot Ordinary Shares up to the maximum aggregate nominal amount of GBP646,155 (being the maximum required for the purposes of issuing the New Ordinary Shares). This is in addition to the authority granted by the Company at its annual general meeting held on 21 May 2014.

Resolution 2

Resolution 2 is a special resolution, conditional upon the passing of Resolution 1, which, if passed, will empower the Directors, pursuant to section 570(1) of the Act, to allot equity securities for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 1 up to an aggregate nominal amount of GBP646,155 on a non-preemptive basis, such authority expiring on 1 December 2014. This is in addition to the authority granted by the Company at its annual general meeting held on 21 May 2014.

If passed, these authorities will enable the Directors to effect the Placing in respect of the New Ordinary Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution and requires a majority of more than 50 per cent. of the Shareholders voting to be passed. Resolution 2 is a special resolution and requires the approval of not less than 75 per cent. of the Shareholders voting to be passed. If the Resolutions are not passed by the requisite majority, the Placing will not proceed.

The Notice of General Meeting is contained at the end of this document and sets out the Resolutions in full. The General Meeting is to be held at the registered office of the Company at Queen Mary Bio Enterprises Innovation Centre, 42 New Road, London E1 2AX at 10.00 a.m. on 1 September 2014.

   8.       Recommendation

The Directors consider that the Placing and the Resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own legal and/or beneficial shareholdings, amounting, in aggregate, to 3,776,720 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 6.9 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares).

   9.       Circular to shareholders

The Circular is being sent to Shareholders today and will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.retroscreen.com.
