Following completion of the Placing, Cinven will continue to hold 51,479,320 ordinary shares in the Company, representing approximately 5.5% of the issued share capital of the Company. These shares are subject to a lock-up which ends 90 days after completion of the Placing (subject to waiver by the Joint Bookrunners and to certain exceptions).

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
