· On 15 September 2015, the Company announced that it had acquired the entire issued share capital of URW++ Design & Development GmbH ("URW"), a font manufacturer located in Hamburg, Germany.  Part of the consideration was settled in cash and part was settled with Company shares.  A total of 925,926 new ordinary shares were created, increasing the number of issued shares from 10,289,781 to 11,215,707, resulting in a dilution of 8.26%.

· The Group has been working with a number of inkjet press manufacturers that have been suffering with quality issues to develop entirely new half-tone screening technology for high-speed presses that can vary the amount of ink delivered in any one location on the media.  Significant improvements in output quality have already been achieved and further progress is expected over the coming months.  Martin Bailey, Global Graphics' CTO, presented a session on this subject, titled "Colour management is not enough: achieving maximum inkjet quality with screening” at The Inkjet Conference on 7th October 2015.
