The exercise price is 4.75 pence per share, equivalent to the closing price on 25 April 2008. These options may be exercised as to one third after 12 months, a further third after two years and the final third after three years from grant and the options shall expire after 10 years from grant.

These share options were consequently re-granted at a price of 7 pence per share, representing a premium of approximately 47 per cent. over the mid-market closing price on the 25 April 2007.

Sarantel's revolutionary ceramic filtering antennas offer dramatically improved performance over existing antenna designs, resulting in a clearer signal, better range and a 90 per cent reduction in the amount of signal radiation absorbed by the body. Because of their smaller size and higher capabilities, Sarantel's antennas enable manufacturers to create innovative high-volume consumer products incorporating technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi, WiMax, 3G, GPRS, Satellite Radio and Bluetooth.
