("BATM" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Proposed Fundraise to raise a minimum of US$15 million

BATM (LSE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, today announces its intention to raise not less than US$15 million (GBP11.8 million), before expenses, by way of a placing (the "Placing") and direct subscription ("Subscription") of new ordinary shares of 0.01 NIS each (together "New Ordinary Shares") in the Company at a price of 42.5 pence per New Ordinary Share ("Issue Price"), with certain eligible existing shareholders and new institutional and other investors (the Placing and the Subscription together being the "Proposed Fundraise").

Dr Zvi Marom, CEO of BATM, said: "Over the past three years, we have been made investments in our businesses that have enabled us to produce differentiated and best-in-class products that are now entering the commercialisation phase. In our Networking & Cyber division, we established a partnership with Arm to develop a network function virtualisation ("NFV") ecosystem based on their Neoverse architecture - becoming the only worldwide software vendor to provide NFV functionality to Arm and Intel platforms. The net proceeds of the Proposed Fundraise are expected to be utilised primarily to advance our NFV. Specifically, one of the main use of funds is to accelerate current NFV development projects with Arm as well as new product and use case development for 5G networks, which we believe is a key growth area for BATM in the short to medium term."

Shore Capital Stockbrokers Ltd ("Shore Capital") is acting as sole bookrunner (the "Bookrunner") in connection with the Placing. Rosario Capital Ltd and its subsidiaries ("Rosario") is acting as the Company's adviser solely in relation to the Subscription by certain institutional investors based in Israel.

Highlights

   --    The Company intends to raise not less than US$15 million in the Proposed Fundraise. 

-- The Proposed Fundraise is being conducted via an accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild") expected to close no later than 8 a.m. on 25 June 2019. The Bookbuild will be launched immediately following this announcement and the Bookbuild is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this announcement.

-- The Company has received indications from a number of its largest existing shareholders that they will participate in the Proposed Fundraise.

   --    The net proceeds of the Proposed Fundraise are expected to be utilised as follows: 

o Networking & Cyber division (approx. 90% of funds raised):

-- potential acquisition opportunities;

-- acceleration of current NFV development projects with Arm;

-- new product and use case development for 5G (MEC);

-- completion of development of CyberGuard product for NFV use cases;

-- accelerating proof-of-concepts and working capital for existing NFV and cyber products; and

-- marketing and sales initiatives.

o Bio-Medical division (approx. 10% of funds raised):

-- acceleration of current development, deployment and certifications (including patents) in molecular biology diagnostics; and

-- acceleration of agri-waste and pharma-waste treatment installations.

-- Completion of the Proposed Fundraise is not subject to Shareholder approval and will be conducted under existing share capital authorities.

   --    The New Ordinary Shares will rank equally with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares. 

In addition, the Company is exploring a potential dual listing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) to benefit from access to a wide range of investors and to create greater value for all shareholders.

Company Highlights

-- BATM is a provider of real-time technologies focusing on two application areas: networking & cyber, and bio-medical. The Group's activities are built on strong patent-backed IP, based on its expertise in algorithms and software development. The Networking & Cyber division provides network function virtualisation, carrier ethernet and cyber network monitoring solutions. The Bio-medical division is focused on medical diagnostic solutions and bio-waste treatment and sterilisation. Both divisions operate in large, growth markets.

   --    The Company believes that its two foremost growth opportunities are: 

o NFV: The Group's operating system (NFVTime-OS) is the only commercially available solution to run on both Intel and Arm NFV platforms. The Group has a strategic partnership with Arm to advance the Arm-based NFV ecosystem, with the Group's solution being integrated into the products of major chipmakers, including NXP Semiconductors. BATM is strategically well-placed to benefit as network functions become increasingly virtualised.

o Molecular diagnostics: The Group's joint venture, Ador Diagnostics, is developing a new product designed to enable rapid, accurate, sample-to-answer diagnosis of bacterial, viral or fungal infections in under an hour using DNA sampling. In January 2019, Ador secured up to US$30 million of investment for this multiplexed molecular diagnostics system. The Group is targeting commercialisation in 2020.

   --    Recent developments in the Networking & Cyber division, include: 

o Launched a new technology under its long-standing partnership with NXP Semiconductors to enable a significant increase in network traffic, without requiring an increase in computing power, when licensing the Group's NFVTime on certain NXP processors built on Arm core technology.

o Entered into a strategic technology partnership with Clavister, a leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, to run its Arm-optimised virtualised cybersecurity platform on NFVTime.

o Received an initial US$2 million contract from a branch of a national armed forces, a new customer, for the provision of a combined cyber security and networking solution to be delivered over an approximate 18-month period.

   --    Recent developments in the Bio-medical division, include: 

o Completion of the initial investment of US$14.5 million under the agreement for up to US$30 million to provide additional funds for the commercialisation of the molecular biology-based solutions being developed by Ador Diagnostics.

o Received a contract from a major food manufacturing group in the Philippines for the Group's agri-waste treatment solution - representing the Group's first customer for this solution outside of Israel.

Additional information on the Proposed Fundraise and the Bookbuild

The final number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Fundraise will be determined following the close of the Bookbuild.

The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild and allocations of the New Ordinary Shares are at the discretion of the Bookrunner (in the UK), Rosario (in Israel) and the Company.

Your attention is drawn to the detailed terms and conditions of the Proposed Fundraise described in Appendix 1 which forms part of this announcement.

The New Ordinary Shares will be allotted under the Company's existing shareholder authorities granted at the annual general meeting of the Company on 28 November 2018. The Company's Articles do not contain any pre-emption rights and there is therefore no obligation on the Company to first offer any New Ordinary Shares to existing shareholders of the Company in the Proposed Fundraise.

Target Market Assessment

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended from time to time ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that they each are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: (a) the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; (b) the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and (c) an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Shore Capital will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Ordinary Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE DIRECTED ONLY AT: (A) PERSONS IN MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA WHO ARE "QUALIFIED INVESTORS", AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE 2.1(E) OF THE PROSPECTUS DIRECTIVE (DIRECTIVE 2003/71/EC), AS AMED (THE "PROSPECTUS DIRECTIVE"), (B) IF IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, PERSONS WHO (I) HAVE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN MATTERS RELATING TO INVESTMENTS WHO FALL WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF "INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS" IN ARTICLE 19(5) OF THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AND MARKETS ACT 2000 (FINANCIAL PROMOTION) ORDER 2005, AS AMED ("ORDER") OR FALL WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF "HIGH NET WORTH COMPANIES, UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS ETC." IN ARTICLE 49(2)(A) TO (D) OF THE ORDER AND (II) ARE "QUALIFIED INVESTORS" AS DEFINED IN SECTION 86 OF THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AND MARKETS ACT 2000, AS AMED ("FSMA") OR (C) PERSONS TO WHOM IT MAY BE COMMUNICATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ISRAELI SECURITIES LAW (D) PERSONS TO WHOM IT MAY OTHERWISE LAWFULLY BE COMMUNICATED (EACH, A "RELEVANT PERSON"). NO OTHER PERSON SHOULD ACT ON OR RELY ON THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND PERSONS DISTRIBUTING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT MUST SATISFY THEMSELVES THAT IT IS LAWFUL TO DO SO. BY ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, INVESTORS REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE A RELEVANT PERSON.

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MUST NOT BE ACTED ON OR RELIED ON BY PERSONS WHO ARE NOT RELEVANT PERSONS. ANY INVESTMENT OR INVESTMENT ACTIVITY TO WHICH THIS ANNOUNCEMENT OR THE PROPOSED FUNDRAISE RELATE IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO RELEVANT PERSONS AND WILL BE ENGAGED IN ONLY WITH RELEVANT PERSONS.

Introduction

These terms and conditions apply to persons making an offer to acquire Placing Shares under the Proposed Fundraise. Each person to whom these conditions apply, as described above, who confirms his agreement to the Bookrunner (in the UK) or Rosario (in Israel) (whether orally or in writing) to acquire New Ordinary Shares under the Proposed Fundraise (an "Investor") hereby agrees with the Bookrunner, Rosario and the Company to be bound by the contract note issued by the Bookrunner (in the UK) or Rosario (in Israel) to such Investor and these terms and conditions, being the terms and conditions upon which Placing Shares will be sold under the Proposed Fundraise. An Investor shall, without limitation, become so bound when the Bookrunner (in the UK) or Rosario (in Israel) confirms to such Investor its allocation of Placing Shares under the Proposed Fundraise.

Upon being notified of its allocation of Placing Shares in the Proposed Fundraise, an Investor shall be contractually committed to acquire the number of Placing Shares allocated to them at the Placing Price and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will be deemed to have agreed not to exercise any rights to rescind or terminate or otherwise withdraw from such commitment. Dealing may not begin before any notification is made.

These terms and conditions of the Placing will also apply to the Subscription with the necessary changes. The Subscription is being managed on behalf of the Company by Rosario in the State of Israel. Only Rosario will be acting for the Company in respect of the Subscription and Shore Capital has no involvement whatsoever and no liability to any party subscribing for Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the Subscription. The Subscription will be carried out and the terms and conditions relevant to the Subscription, will take place only in the State of Israel. For the avoidance of doubt, these terms and conditions together with the Tofes Hazmana issued by Rosario to Subscribers under the terms of the Subscription (Subscription Form), set out the full and complete offer of New Ordinary Shares to Subscribers. While both the Placing and the Subscription would take place under the laws of England and Wales and be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in England and Wales, the Israeli Securities Law and regulations promulgated thereunder (Israeli Securities Laws) will apply to the Subscription and to the extent that there is any conflict between the Israeli Securities Laws and the terms and conditions, the Israeli Securities Laws will take precedence in respect of the Subscription. Furthermore, the Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel and to the extent it is relevant Israeli Companies law applies to the Company.

Application for Admission

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Placing Agreement (the "Conditions"), it is expected that Admission will take place and dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on 1 July on or around 8.00 a.m.

Bookbuilding Process

Commencing today, the Bookrunner will be conducting an accelerated bookbuilding process to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees (the "Bookbuilding Process"). At the same time Rosario will be carrying out the Subscription by inviting potential subscribers to participate in the Subscription. This Announcement gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing, and to the extent not overridden by the Rosario Order, the Subscription. No commissions will be paid by or to Placees in respect of any participation in the Placing or subscription for Placing Shares.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Bookbuilding Process

Participation in the Placing is by invitation only and will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by the Bookrunner. The Bookbuilding Process will establish the number of Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing at the Placing Price.

The book will open with immediate effect. The Bookbuilding Process is expected to close not later than 8.00 am on 25 June 2019, but may be closed at such earlier or later time as the Bookrunner may, in its absolute discretion (after consultation with the Company), determine. A further announcement will be made following the close of the Bookbuilding Process detailing the number of New Ordinary Shares to be subscribed for by the Placees and the Subscribers at the Placing Price.

A bid in the Bookbuilding Process will be made on the terms and conditions in this Announcement and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and, except with the Bookrunner's consent, will not be capable of variation or revocation after the close of the Bookbuilding Process.

A Placee who wishes to participate in the Bookbuilding Process should communicate its bid by telephone to its usual sales contact at the Bookrunner. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares that the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at the Placing Price. If successful, the Bookrunner will re-contact and confirm orally to Placees following the close of the Bookbuilding Process the size of their respective allocations and a trade confirmation will be despatched as soon as possible thereafter. The Bookrunner's confirmation (either oral or written) of the size of allocations will constitute an irrevocable legally binding agreement in favour of the Company and the Bookrunner pursuant to which each such Placee will be required to accept the number of Placing Shares allocated to the Placee at the Placing Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in these terms and in accordance with the Company's articles of association. Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a trade confirmation issued by the Bookrunner to such Placee. The terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated in that trade confirmation.

The Bookrunner reserves the right to scale back the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by any Placee in the event that the Placing is oversubscribed. The Bookrunner also reserves the right not to accept offers to subscribe for Placing Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole. The acceptance and, if applicable, scaling back of offers shall be at the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner.

Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and to the Bookrunner. Following the oral confirmation referred to above, each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Company and the Bookrunner, as agent of the Company, to pay to the Bookrunner (or as the Bookrunner may direct) in cleared funds on the date specified an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares allocated to such Placee.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither the Bookrunner, any subsidiary of the Bookrunner, any branch, affiliate or associated undertaking of the Bookrunner or of any such subsidiary nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers ("Bookrunner Affiliate") nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither the Bookrunner, any Bookrunner Affiliate nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any liability (including, to the extent legally permissible, any fiduciary duties), in respect of its conduct of the Bookbuilding Process or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Bookrunner may determine.

All obligations of the Bookrunner under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to in this Announcement including without limitation those referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing".

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The obligations of the Bookrunner under the Placing Agreement are conditional, among other things, upon:

   (i)            the release of this Announcement; 

(ii) the Admission of the Placing Shares occurring not later than 1 July 2019 or such later time and/or date as the Bookrunner and the Company may agree (but in any event not later than 31 July 2019);

(iii) the warranties on the part of the Company contained in the Placing Agreement being true and accurate and not misleading on and as of the date of the Placing Agreement and at Admission;

(iv) there not having arisen or occurred before either Admission any matter, fact, circumstance or event, such that in the opinion of the Bookrunner, a supplementary circular or announcement is required to be made unless a supplementary document has been published or an announcement has been released to a RIS; and

(v) the Company having complied with its obligations under the Placing Agreement to the extent they fall to be performed prior to the Admission.

If (a) the Conditions of the Placing are not fulfilled (or to the extent permitted under the Placing Agreement waived by the Bookrunner), or (b) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the circumstances specified below, the Placing will lapse and each Placee's rights and obligations arising under these terms shall cease and determine at such time and no claim may be made by a Placee in respect thereof.

Neither of the Bookrunner, any Bookrunner Affiliate, Rosario or the Company, nor any subsidiary of the Company, nor any branch, affiliate or associated undertaking of any such company nor any of their respective directors, officers and employees (each a "Company Affiliate") shall have any liability to any Placee or Subscriber (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or a Subscriber or otherwise) in respect of any decision it may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition in the Placing Agreement or in respect of the Placing or the Subscription generally.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that the Bookrunner's rights and obligations in respect of the Placing may terminate, inter alia, in the circumstances described below under "Right to terminate the Placing Agreement".

Right to terminate the Placing Agreement

The Bookrunner has the right to terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances prior to either Admission, in particular, where any warranty was, when given, untrue, inaccurate or misleading, or where any warranty is not, or has ceased to be, true, accurate or not misleading (or would not be true, accurate or not misleading if then repeated) by reference to the facts subsisting at the relevant time, where the Company has failed to comply with certain of its obligations under the Placing Agreement, or upon the occurrence of a force majeure event or a material adverse change in the financial or trading position or prospects of any member of the Group.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Bookrunner that the exercise by the Bookrunner of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Bookrunner and that the Bookrunner need not make any reference to the Placees in this regard and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Company, the Bookrunner, any Bookrunner Affiliate nor any Company Affiliate shall have any liability whatsoever to the Placees in connection with any such exercise or failure to so exercise.

No Prospectus

No offering document or prospectus has been or will be prepared in relation to the Placing or the Subscription and no such prospectus is required (in accordance with the Prospectus Directive and the Israeli Securities Law) to be published or submitted to be approved by the FCA and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement and any other Company announcement.

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms to the Bookrunner, Rosario and the Company that it has neither received nor relied on any information, representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Bookrunner or Rosario (other than the amount of the relevant Placing participation in the oral confirmation given to Placees and the trade confirmation referred to below), any Bookrunner or Rosario Affiliate, any persons acting on its or their behalf or the Company or any Company Affiliate and neither the Bookrunner, Rosario, any Bookrunner or Rosario Affiliate, nor any persons acting on their behalf, the Company, any Company Affiliate nor any persons acting on their behalf will be liable for the decision of any Placee to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placee may have obtained or received (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons). By participating in the Placing, each Placee acknowledges to and agrees with its respective Bookrunner, for itself and as agent for the Company that (except for, in relation to the Company, the information contained in this Announcement) it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in deciding whether to participate in the Proposed Fundraise. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (and/or the DIs) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, using the delivery versus payment mechanism, subject to certain exceptions. The Bookrunner reserve the right to require settlement for and delivery of the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means as they may deem necessary, including, without limitation, if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

The expected timetable for settlement will be as follows:

 
 Trade Date                        26 June 2019 
 Settlement Date                   1 July 2019 
                                  ------------- 
 ISIN Code                         IL0010849045 
                                  ------------- 
 SEDOL                             0911146 
                                  ------------- 
 Deadline for input instruction    26 June 2019 
  into CREST 
                                  ------------- 
 

Each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it, the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to the Bookrunner and settlement instructions. Placees should settle against the CREST ID provided to them by the Bookrunner. It is expected that such trade confirmation will be despatched on the expected trade date shown above. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which it has in place with the Bookrunner, as applicable.

It is expected that settlement will take place on the relevant Settlement Dates shown above on a delivery versus payment basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation unless otherwise notified by the Bookrunner.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above the base rate of HSBC Bank Plc.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, the Bookrunner may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to the Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the relevant Bookrunner's own account and profit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by such Placee and it may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, the Placee should ensure that the trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in the Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom the Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares will, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to any levy, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in respect of the issue of the Placing Shares, neither the Bookrunner nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Agreement to acquire Placing Shares

Conditional on Admission occurring and becoming effective by 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 1 July 2019 (or such later time and/or date as the Company and the Bookrunner may agree) and on the Placing Agreement being otherwise unconditional in all respects and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms on or before Admission, an Investor agrees to become a member of the Company and agrees to acquire Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The number of Placing Shares acquired by such Investor under the Placing shall be in accordance with the arrangements described above.

Payment for Placing Shares

Each Investor undertakes to pay the Placing Price for the Placing Shares acquired by such Investor in such manner and at such time as shall be directed by the Bookrunner (in the UK) or Rosario (in Israel). In the event of any failure by an Investor to pay as so directed, the relevant Investor shall be deemed hereby to have appointed the Bookrunner (in the UK) or the Company (in Israel) or heir nominees to sell (in one or more transactions) any or all of the Placing Shares in respect of which payment has not been made as so directed and to have agreed to indemnify on demand that Bookrunner or the Company in respect of any liability for stamp duty and/or stamp duty reserve tax arising in respect of any such sale or sales.
