Share Reorganisation and Bonus Issue

As a result of the passing of the Resolutions, the Share Reorganisation will become effective as of 6.00 p.m. on 1 June 2023 and accordingly every one Existing Ordinary Share of the Company at the Record Date will be sub-divided into 13 Sub-divided Shares and every 659 Sub-divided Shares will then be consolidated into one Post-Consolidation Share. Each of the Post-Consolidation Shares, at the Record Date, will be sub-divided into one new ordinary share of £0.01 each and one new deferred share of £0.50 each, in each case having the rights and being subject to the restrictions set out in the New Articles. The new ordinary shares of £0.01 each shall have the same rights and be subject to the same restrictions as the Existing Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company.

In addition, the passing of the Resolutions also means that the Bonus Issue of new Preference Shares will be effective as of 6.00 p.m. on 1 June 2023 and accordingly every holder of Ordinary Shares (following the Share Reorganisation) will receive one New Preference Share for every Ordinary Share held. The New Preference Shares shall have the rights, and be subject to the restrictions, set out in the New Articles.
