*Roger Mitchell, Andrea Gambirasio and John Defterios hold 110, 45 and 50 share options respectively in Vipera which they will waive in consideration of 1,098,430, 449,357 and 499,286 Vendor Warrants respectively on Completion. In addition, Mobile World Srl, Neby & Jahrmann Srl, Compagnia Fiduciaria Nazionale SpA,Angife Srl, Mario Capocaccia and Andrea Gambirasio have all done likewise in respect of 32 options in Vipera for 319,543 Vendor Warrants in Ricmore and John Defterios has done likewise in respect of 8 options in Vipera for 79,886 Vendor Warrants.

**On the assumption that the members of the Concert Party who hold Vendor Warrants exercise all of the Vendor Warrants held by them in full and that no other options or Warrants are exercised.The Vendor Warrants are exercisable at 3p per New Ordinary Share for 5 years and provide consideration for the cancellation of options in Vipera.

*** The Fully Enlarged Share Capital and Enlarged Share Capital on Admission includes the Placing Shares.

 

Rule 9 of the Takeover Code further provides, inter alia, that where any person, together with persons acting in concert with him, holds more than 50 per cent. of a company's voting share capital and acquires additional shares which carry voting rights, then that person will not generally be required to make a general offer to the other shareholders to acquire the balance of the shares not held by that person or their concert parties. In addition, (for so long as they continue to be treated as acting in concert) the members of a concert party may be entitled to increase their aggregate shareholding without incurring any further obligation under Rule 9 to make a general offer although individual members of the Concert Party will not be able to increase their percentage shareholding through a Rule 9 threshold without the consent of the Panel. The Concert Party holds in excess of 50 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company. Accordingly, Shareholders should be aware that the Concert Party may, for so long as it holds over 50 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company, increase its shareholding at a later date without incurring any further obligation under Rule 9 to make a general offer, subject to the restrictions of individual members of the Concert Party going through a Rule 9 threshold as referred to above.
