Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and to the London Stock Exchange for the 15,546,613 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities respectively. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings for normal settlement in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 23 March 2017.
Following Admission, the number of Ordinary Shares that the Company has in issue will be 88,365,109. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights of the Company will be 88,365,109 and this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to, their interest in the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the FCA.
