The Circular will also shortly be available via the National Storage Mechanism (www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM).

As announced previously, the Company intends to publish a new prospectus soon after the general meeting containing details of the new share issuance programme, which it plans to implement later in its current financial year.
