Trading in WYG Shares on AIM was suspended with effect from 7.30 a.m. on 9 July 2019. The cancellation of admission to trading of WYG Shares on AIM is expected to take effect at 7.00 a.m. on 10 July 2019.

 

As a result of the Scheme having become effective, share certificates in respect of WYG Shares have ceased to be valid documents of title and entitlements to WYG Shares held in uncertificated form in CREST are being cancelled.
