Terms: | In connection with the Offer, Morgan Stanley, as Stabilising Manager, may (but will be under no obligation to), to the extent permitted by applicable law, over-allot Ordinary Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of the Offer Shares (prior to any exercise of the Over-allotment Option) or effect other transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Ordinary Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market for a period of no more than 30 calendar days after the date of commencement of conditional dealings of the shares on the London Stock Exchange. Such transactions may be effected on the London Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter markets or otherwise. There is no obligation on the Stabilising Manager to undertake stabilisation transactions. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time without prior notice and must be brought to an end no later than 30 calendar days after the date of commencement of conditional dealings of the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange (the "Stabilisation Period"). In no event will measures be taken to stabilise the market price of the Ordinary Shares above the Offer Price. Save as required by law, the Stabilising Manager does not intend to disclose the extent of any stabilisation transactions under the Offer. For the purposes of allowing the Stabilising Manager to cover short positions resulting from any such over-allocations and/or from sales of Ordinary Shares effected by it during the Stabilisation Period, it is expected that certain shareholders of the Company will grant to the Stabilising Manager the Overallotment Option, pursuant to which the Stabilising Manager may purchase or procure purchasers for up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Ordinary Shares comprised in the Offer (the "Over-allotment Shares") at the Offer Price. The Over-allotment Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part, upon notice by the Stabilising Manager, at any time on or before the 30th calendar day after the commencement of conditional dealings in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange. Any Over-allotment Shares made available pursuant to the Over-allotment Option will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares, including for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Ordinary Shares, will be purchased on the same terms and conditions as the Ordinary Shares in the Offer and will form a single class for all purposes with the other Ordinary Shares. |
Number of shares covered by Over-allotment Option: | 12,400,000 Ordinary Shares |
Duration: | This option may be executed in full or in part at any time during the Stabilisation Period. |
