¹ This holding comprises Ordinary Shares held jointly and individually in the names of Andrew Gerrie and his wife, Alison Hawksley, together with Ordinary Shares held by Silver Americum Limited.

 

²Issued share capital = 270,712,808 Ordinary Shares.

 

Following the transfer of the VSA Consideration Shares, the Concert Party's aggregate interest in the voting rights of the Company remains at 96.07%. For so long as the Concert Party holds more than 50% of the Company's voting share capital and its members are presumed to be acting in concert, they may increase their aggregate interests in the Ordinary Shares in the Company without incurring any obligation under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code to make a mandatory offer for the remaining shares, although individual members of the Concert Party, with the exception of Andrew Gerrie and Alison Hawksley, would not be able to increase their percentage interest in the Ordinary Shares of the Company through 30%, or between 30% and 50%, without the consent of the Panel.
