Pursuant to the resolutions duly passed at the EGM, the Company announces that on 13 May 2021 it submitted notices to the FCA to cancel the standard listing of the GDRs on the Official List of the FCA, and to the LSE to cancel the admission of the GDRs to trading on the main market of the LSE ("LSE Delisting"). In accordance with UK Listing Rule 5.2.8, the Company is required to give at least 20 business days' notice of its LSE Delisting, which is therefore expected to take effect at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 14 June 2021.

Once such notice periods expire the GDRs will no longer be listed and traded on the LSE or the AIX.

 

The Company previously announced on 14 April 2021 that its GDR programme would terminate on 12 June 2021.
