Notice to CULS holders

Reminder to CULS Holders of Conversion Rights

The Company reminds holders of the CULS (the "CULS Holders") of their right to convert the whole or such part (being an integral multiple of GBP5,000 nominal) of his or her CULS as he or she may specify into fully paid Ordinary Shares of the Company (the "Conversion Rights") at any time during the period of 28 days ending 31 December 2019 provided that the documents or notifications required are received by the Company's Registrars by 1.00 p.m. on 31 December 2019.

This announcement is issued by way of a reminder only and is not to be read as a recommendation to CULS Holders to exercise their Conversion Rights. You are not obliged to exercise your right to convert and if you do not convert on this occasion you will have further opportunities to do so in March, June, September and December each year up to 30 June 2024. Notices will be issued via a Regulatory Information Service reminding CULS Holders of their Conversion Rights.

Basis of Conversion

The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company on exercise of a Conversion Right shall be determined by dividing the nominal amount of the Original CULS to be converted by the conversion price in effect on the relevant Conversion Date ("Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price is 420 pence per Ordinary Share.

CULS Holders wishing to exercise their Conversion Rights in certificated form shall do so by completing the Conversion Notice on the reverse of the CULS certificate and returning this to Corporate Actions Team, Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA or CULS Holders wishing to exercise their Conversion Rights in uncertificated form should arrange a TTE instruction in the CREST system (CREST Participant ID 2RA06; Member ID RA339201). CREST members and CREST sponsors (on behalf of CREST sponsored members) should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make special procedures in CREST for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to input of a TTE instruction and its settlement. It is the responsibility of the CREST CULS Holders concerned to take (or, if the CREST CULS Holder is a CREST sponsored member, procure that his CREST sponsor takes) the action necessary to ensure that a valid acceptance is received by 1.00 p.m. on 31 December 2019. CREST CULS Holders and (where applicable) CREST sponsors are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

Settlement

Settlement of Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company on the valid exercise of a Conversion Right will be made no later than 14 January 2020 by (i) in the case of a CREST CULS holder, the credit of Ordinary Shares to the relevant CREST stock account or (ii) in the case of a certificated CULS Holder, the despatch by first class post to the registered address of the CULS Holder of a definitive ordinary share certificate (at the risk of the CULS Holder concerned).

All terms capitalised in this announcement but not defined have the same meaning as given to them in the Admission Particulars dated 12 July 2019 which is available on the Company's website at https://www.afhwm.co.uk/investor-relations/publications/.
