Subscription Shares - Notice of suspension and cancellation
The last date on which holders of subscription shares (the "Subscription
Shares") in the Company may exercise their subscription rights is 31 July 2014
(the "Final Exercise Date").
To the extent holders of Subscription Shares have not elected to exercise their
Subscription Share rights by the Final Exercise Date, a trustee will be
appointed over the outstanding Subscription Shares. In accordance with the
Subscription Share terms, the trustee will have to decide whether or not to
exercise the outstanding Subscription Share rights and to have done so within
14 days of the Final Exercise Date, such period expiring at the latest at close
of business on 14 August 2014. In the event that the trustee determines to
exercise the outstanding Subscription Shares, proceeds received upon the sale
of the ordinary shares arising from such exercise (less the exercise price and
any expenses incurred) will be paid to the underlying Subscription Shareholders
pro-rata to their existing holdings of Subscription Shares.
To the extent not exercised by the trustee, the Subscription Share rights will
lapse at close of business on 14 August 2014 and, in accordance with their
terms, all outstanding Subscription Shares will be converted into deferred
shares and repurchased by the Company, without making any payment, and
cancelled. The Company shall not be obliged to issue share certificates to
shareholders in respect of the deferred shares or account to any holder of
deferred shares for the repurchase moneys in respect of such deferred shares.
The Company will apply for the admission of any new ordinary shares arising
from the exercise of Subscription Shares, whether by Subscription Shareholders
or by the trustee, and will make further announcements in due course, if
required.
The Company has requested that the UK Listing Authority suspend the listing of
the Subscription Shares from 7.30 a.m. on 1 August 2014, following the passing
of the Final Exercise Date, and that the listing of the Subscription Shares be
cancelled on 12 September 2014.
