The Offer for Subscription, which opens today and is open for applications until 11:00 a.m. on 26 July 2017, makes available up to 27,272,727 Offer for Subscription Shares at a price of 55 pence per share.

In the event that valid applications are received under the Offer for Subscription for more than the maximum number of Offer for Subscription Shares available, applications shall be allocated in such manner as the Directors may determine, in their absolute discretion, although the Directors anticipate such allocations will take into account applications made by existing Shareholders for Offer for Subscription Shares.
