The Company received valid acceptances from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 4,419,786 Open Offer Shares under their Basic Entitlement and valid applications for 1,430,732 Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility (after giving effect to the cancellation described below).
Accordingly, the Company received valid applications for 5,850,518 Open Offer Shares, representing 67.86% of the maximum 8,621,748 Open Offer Shares available under the Open Offer.
Under the Placing, Conditional Placees agreed to subscribe for, in aggregate, 3,220,699 Conditionally Placed Shares at the Issue Price, subject to clawback in respect of valid applications for Open Offer Shares (including for Excess Open Offer Shares) by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer.
As a result of the level of participation by Qualifying Shareholders:
Prior to the Placing and Open Offer, Third Point and its affiliates beneficially owned, in aggregate, 7,300,153 Existing Ordinary Shares representing approximately 42.76% of the total Existing Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the Third Point Irrevocable Undertaking, Daniel Loeb undertook to, among other things, take up and subscribe in full for 3,686,945 Open Offer Shares to which Third Point and its affiliates are entitled under the Open Offer and apply for 442,095 Excess Open Offer Shares under the Excess Application Facility. Due to demand from existing Shareholders to apply for Open Offer Shares (including Excess Open Offer Shares) in the Open Offer and to subscribe for Conditionally Placed Shares, Daniel Loeb agreed with the Company for the cancellation of his application for 442,095 Excess Open Offer Shares in order to limit clawback from Conditional Placees. Accordingly, immediately following Admission, Third Point and its affiliates will beneficially own 10,987,098 Ordinary Shares, representing 42.76% of the Ordinary Shares in issue.
The details of the participation of the Directors and certain other persons who subscribed for New Ordinary Shares in the Placing and Open Offer will be disclosed in accordance with the UK Market Abuse Regulation subsequently.

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued and fully paid, will be identical to, and rankpari passuwith, the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Existing Ordinary Shares by reference to a record date on or after Admission.
The total issued share capital of the Company following Admission will be 25,692,810 Ordinary Shares and 17,128,540 B Shares. No Shares are currently held in treasury.

UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Rules"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any 'manufacturer' (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Rules) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such New Ordinary Shares are: (a) 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 Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"); and (b) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "UK target market assessment"). Notwithstanding the UK target market assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and 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 UK target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing and Open Offer.
Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the UK target market assessment, Jefferies will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the UK target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of COBS 9A and COBS 10A, respectively; 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 UK target market assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
