Furthermore, the Issuer also notified Bondholders of its election that such cash amount would not be added to the Exchange Property and instead a number of Shaftesbury Shares, to be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Conditions, would be added to the Exchange Property, pursuant to Condition 8(e).

Consequently, and in accordance with the notice to Bondholders dated 14 December 2022 and Condition 8(c), the Issuer hereby notifies Bondholders, the Trustee and the Principal Paying, Transfer and Exchange Agent of the following changes to the Exchange Property pursuant to Conditions 8(b)(iii)(B) and 8(e), effective 6 January 2023:  

· 6,919.6570 Shaftesbury Shares have been added to the Exchange Property, and the Exchange Property therefore comprises 37,998,292.0155 Shaftesbury Shares; and

· the Exchange Property per Bond to which the holder of GBP 100,000 principal amount of Bonds would be entitled upon exercise of the Exchange Right in respect of such Bond is 13,817.5607 Shaftesbury Shares (equivalent to an implied exchange price of approximately GBP 7.2372 per Shaftesbury Share).

Furthermore, 6,920 Shaftesbury Shares will be credited to the Security pursuant to Condition 2(b).
