Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 462,848,416 ordinary shares. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. This figure of 462,848,416  ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
