We refer to the offer document dated 9 April 2020 (the “Offer Document”) in which we
offered to acquire all the issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of the Company not

this letter have the same meanings as given to them in the Offer Document.
As you may be aware, the Offer closed at 1 p.m. (London time) on 30 April 2020. As at 1 p.m.
(London time) on 30 April 2020, the Offeror had, by virtue of acceptances of the Offer,

ordinary shares in the Company which the Offeror acquired other than through the Offer,
represent 91.76 % in value of all the ordinary shares in issue at that time and carry 91.76% of
the voting rights attaching to them.

their ordinary shares either on the terms of the Offer or on such other terms as may, in the case
of each such shareholder, be agreed between them and the Offeror.
According to our records, you did not accept the Offer and we are therefore required to inform
you that you are entitled to require us to acquire your Redx Shares on the terms of the Offer.

relates and in respect of which the Offer has not been accepted.
