Priority will be given to applications from shareholders or their spouses/civil partners who are on the register of the Company at the close of business on 20 December 2017. Priority for existing shareholders and their spouses/civil partners will expire at the close of business on Friday 2 February 2018, when the offer (if not then fully subscribed) will be made available to the general public. Shares will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis in respect of valid applications, with a minimum subscription of £3,000.
