Open Offer - clarification of timetable
Β
Further to the announcement made on 30 January 2014 the Company wishes to clarify the timetable and principal events in relation to the Open Offer.
Β
The timetable published in the Open Offer document posted to shareholders on 30 January 2014 contained the expected timetable and principal events as set out in the table below.
Β
The timetable did not state an ex-entitlement date, which was advised as being 30 January 2014 in the accompanying application form posted to shareholders.
Β
The Company has now agreed to set the ex-entitlement date as 4 February 2014, therefore it has requested the London Stock Exchange to add an "ex-marker" to the Company's shares from the commencement of trading on 4 February 2014.
Β
For the avoidance of doubt the record date for entitlement under the Open Offer remains 5pm on 18 November 2013.
