With effect from today, the Company's Ordinary Shares will trade under the new ISIN number BMG1961Q1832 and the C Shares will trade under the new ISIN number BMG1961Q1915.

The applicable redemption ratios were   0.060593983 in relation to the Ordinary Shares and 0.070390215 in relation to the C Shares.

A holder of 100,000 C Shares will have had 7,039 C Shares redeemed, and receive $3,634.93 in cash. Approximately 6.63% of the issued share capital was redeemed.

This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR 5.1.2).

It is expected that the proceeds of the redemption will be paid through CREST to holders of Ordinary Shares and C Shares in uncertificated form on 22 May 2020, and paid by cheque to holders of Ordinary Shares in certificated form, on 29 May 2020.
