Notice (the "Circular"). The record time for entitlement to the B
Shares is 6.00 pm today, 3 September 2021.
A further announcement will be made on 6 September 2021
regarding the issue of the B Shares.
Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation in relation to the B Share Scheme, as
explained in the Circular, will replace every 100 Existing Ordinary
Shares with 92.35 New Ordinary Shares. Applications have been made
to the FCA to amend the Official List and to the LSE for an
