"The illustrative share consolidation referenced in this announcement refers to a ratio of 75 for 100. This is an illustrative example only based upon the average market capitalisation of the Company over the last five trading days in February 2022, adjusted for the 2021 final dividend. The actual consolidation ratio to be applied is expected to be published on or around 4 April 2022, and may be calculated on a different basis depending on share price volatility, with the directors of the Company retaining absolute discretion to determine the final ratio, including by reference to share price movement after the date of the publication of this announcement, amongst other things. Full details of the B share scheme (including mechanics, eligibility, consolidation ratio and proceeds) will be set out in a shareholder circular, which will be made available on or around 4 April 2022."
So, a rather nebulous announcement with more caveats than fleas on a hedgehog. Why did they bother?
