It's relatively complex and they don't explicitly state the ratio for the AC8 Bonus Issue, but they give you enough information to calculate it.
Going back to the 8th April RNS;
Start at the "Bases and sources" section:
"2. AC8's percentage ownership of the Combined Group on Admission, has been calculated on the basis of:
(i) The estimated fully diluted ordinary share capital of AC8 (being 7,500,035 AC8 ordinary shares) (the "AC8 Fully Diluted Share Capital"), comprising:"
This outlines how the share capital of AC8 will be expanded under the deal.
Then go to this section below it:
"holding approximately 0.99 per cent. in aggregate of the issued ordinary share capital of the Combined Group at Admission, which is currently estimated to be 2,332,626 AC8 ordinary shares."
The Bonus Issue is calculated using .99 percent of the Combined Group (i.e IIG and AC8) share count. Obviously this is much bigger than the relatively small number of AC8 shares in issue at 7th April.
They have useful indicated 2,332,626 shares as a guide for the Bonus Issue.
Then go back to the beginning of the document and you will find this:
"it is anticipated that there will be a proposed issue of bonus shares to AC8's ordinary shareholders prior to Admission and before conversion of the 2025 CLNs and 2026 CLNs (each as defined below) (the "Bonus Issue"), such that IIG shareholders would hold approximately 99.01 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of the Combined Group on Admission and AC8 shareholders would hold approximately 0.99 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of the Combined Group on Admission."
This tells you the Bonus Issue shares are applied before conversion of the CLNs.
Divide the indicated Bonus Issue (i.e. .99% of the Combined Group) by the AC8 issued share capital before conversion of the CLNs, which is 750,000 AC8 ordinary shares (in issue as at 7 April 2026)
That is a resulting 3.11 ratio.
