Issue of Equity / Directors' Dealings / Total Voting Rights

Omega Diagnostics Group PLC announces that it has allotted a total of 757,213 new ordinary shares of 4p each (the "Earn Out Shares"), being deferred consideration pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Company (then known as Quintessentially English Plc), Andrew Shepherd, Kieron Harbinson, Scottish Enterprise and Julie Anne Monks Shepherd on 23 August 2006 for the purchase of the entire issued share capital of Omega Diagnostics Limited (the "Acquisition Agreement").  

The total earn out due to the vendors of Omega Diagnostics Limited under the Acquisition Agreement was determined to be £605,772. This has been satisfied by the allotment of the Earn Out Shares at a notional price of 80p per Earn Out Share.  The Earn Out Shares have been allotted as follows:

Andrew Shepherd
401,133
Scottish Enterprise
226,540
Julie Monks-Shepherd

Andrew Shepherd and Kieron Harbinson are Directors of the Company and their resultant holdings of ordinary shares of 4p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") are as follows:

The Earn Out Shares will rank equally with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.  Application has been made for the Earn Out Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to become effective on 18 August 2008. 

Following Admission the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 15,632,907. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury, and therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 15,632,907.

The above figure of 15,632,907 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Risk Warning

There is an extra risk of losing money when shares are bought in some smaller companies including 'Penny Shares'. There is a big difference between the buying price and the selling price of these shares. If they have to be sold immediately, you may get back much less than you paid for them or you may have difficulty in selling them. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The price may change quickly and it may go down as well as up. You could lose every penny put into a particular share.
