The Company has agreed, subject only to Admission (as defined below), to issue the Conversion Shares and accordingly application will be made for the Conversion Shares to be listed on the Standard segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission").
