Notice of US Shareholders
The Tender Offer relates to securities in a non-US company registered in the Cayman Islands and listed on the London Stock Exchange and is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to companies listed in the United Kingdom, which differ from those of the United States in certain material respects. This document has been prepared in accordance with UK style and practice for the purpose of complying with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the rules of the FCA and of the London Stock Exchange, and US Shareholders should read this entire document. The Tender Offer is not subject to the disclosure and other procedural requirements of Regulation 14D under the US Exchange Act. The Tender Offer will be made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of, and Regulation 14E under, the US Exchange Act subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1 thereunder and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the rules of the FCA and the London Stock Exchange. Accordingly, the Tender Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements that are different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law. The Company is not listed on a US securities exchange, is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the US Exchange Act and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
It may be difficult for US Shareholders to enforce certain rights and claims arising in connection with the Tender Offer under US federal securities laws since the Company is located outside the United States and its officers and directors reside outside the United States. It may not be possible to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It also may not be possible to compel a non-US company or its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment.
To the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with normal UK practice, the Company or any of its affiliates, may make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Ordinary Shares outside the United States during the period in which the Tender Offer remains open for acceptance, including sales and purchases of Ordinary Shares effected by Jefferies acting as market maker in the Ordinary Shares. These purchases, or other arrangements, may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. In order to be excepted from the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act by virtue of Rule 14e-5(b)(12) thereunder, such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, must comply with the applicable English law and regulation, including the UK listing rules of the FCA, and the relevant provisions of the US Exchange Act. In addition, in accordance with normal UK market practice, Jefferies and its affiliates may continue to act as market makers in the Ordinary Shares and may engage in certain other purchasing activities consistent with their respective normal and usual practice and applicable law. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK and the United States and, if required, will be reported via the Regulatory Information Service and available on the London Stock Exchange website at http://www.londonstockexchange.com.
The receipt of cash or securities pursuant to the Tender Offer may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes. In addition, holders may be subject to US backup withholding and information reporting on payments with respect to the Tender Offer made (or deemed made) within the United States.
