Kevin earned his BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Forfeiture of Restricted Shares, Increase in Treasury Shares and Total Voting Rights
The resignation of Mr Judd as Chief Executive Officer and from his position on the Board, led to Mr Judd forfeiting his right to the 2,500,000 restricted shares and 10,000,000 shares options in the Company that were awarded to him as announced on 11 July 2017.
Following this forfeiture, the Company's issued share capital is comprised of 407,062,656 ordinary shares of US$0.01 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") and 134,815,771 Convertible Preferred Shares, of which 2,916,334 Ordinary Shares are held by the Company as non-voting treasury stock.
The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 538,962,093. Shareholders may use this figure of 538,962,093 as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
