Shareholders are hereby advised that at the Annual General Meeting of CRG

At the AGM the following resolutions were put to the meeting as ordinary

year ended 31 December 2010 together with the directors` and auditors`

rotation in accordance with Article 16.6 of the Articles and being eligible

The following resolution was put to the meeting as an extraordinary
resolution:
5. That the directors be and are hereby empowered to allot equity securities
wholly for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Article 4.1 and
Article 10.6 of the Articles as if Article 10.1 of the Articles did not apply
to any such allotment, provided that this power shall be limited to the
allotment of equity securities:
in connection with an offer of such securities by way of rights to holders of
shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their respective
holdings of such shares, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements
as the directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional
entitlements or any legal or practical problems under the laws of any
territory, or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange or
otherwise; and
b. otherwise than and in addition to pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) of this
resolution up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount equal to GBP799,841
(being approximately 5 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company
as at 29 April 2011);
and provided that this authority shall expire on the 15 month anniversary of
the date of this resolution or on the conclusion of the Company`s next
general meeting if earlier save that the Company may, before such expiry make
an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be
allotted after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities in
pursuance of any such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the power
conferred hereby has expired and in this resolution the expression "equity
securities" and references to the "allotment of equity securities" shall bear
the same respective meanings as in Article 1.1 of the Articles.
