Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company's issued share capital is comprised of 39,460,471 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds no further shares as Treasury Shares.
The total number of voting rights in the Company is calculated as the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares less the Ordinary Shares not able to be voted on due to restrictions applicable to certain holders as specified in the Company's Articles of Association, which results in a total voting rights figure of 24,172,474.
