Ordinary Shareholders have the following rights:

(i) Dividends

During the period Shareholders (other than the Company itself where it holds its own Ordinary Shares as treasury Ordinary Shares) are entitled to receive, and participate in, any dividends or other distributions out of the profit of the Company available for dividend and resolved to be distributed in respect of any accounting period or other income or right to participate therein.

(ii) Winding up

On a winding up, Shareholders (other than the Company itself where it holds its own Ordinary Shares as treasury Ordinary Shares) shall be entitled to the surplus assets remaining after payment of all the creditors of the Company.

(iii) Voting

Shareholders (other than the Company itself where it holds its own Ordinary Shares as treasury Ordinary Shares) shall have the right to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company and each Shareholder being present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised representative (if a corporation) at a meeting shall upon a show of hands have one vote and upon a poll each such holder present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised representative (if a corporation) shall have one vote in respect of every Ordinary Share held by him.

B Redeemable Preference Shares

Proceeds from the issue of B Redeemable Preference Shares in the GPCo are classified as debt in these financial statements in accordance with IFRS and have the following special rights:

a) At any time the B Redeemable Preference Shareholders of the GPCo shall be entitled on liquidation of the GPCo to a sum equal to any undistributed vested performance allocation, due from the Limited Partnership, plus any amounts due to the Company under the Limited Partnership Agreement allocated between such Shareholders pro rata to the number of B Redeemable Preference Shares they hold at the date of distribution in priority to any other distributions on the A Ordinary Shares of the GPCo.

b) Subject to the provisions of the Law, on each annual NAV publication date, of the Limited Partnership, an amount equal to any undistributed vested performance allocation, in the Limited Partnership, shall become distributable to the B Redeemable Preference Shareholders of the GPCo.

c) Should the Company be unable to pay a dividend equal to any undistributed vested performance allocation, due from the Limited Partnership, in accordance with (b) above, the Company shall pay a maximum dividend it is permitted to pay to the B Redeemable Preference Shareholders of the GPCo and the remainder of the undistributed vested performance allocation shall be dealt with in accordance with (d) below.

d) In relation to any remaining undistributed vested performance allocation, any B Redeemable Preference Shareholders of the GPCo may deliver an election in writing to the GPCo (the "Election") requesting that the GPCo redeems one of the B Redeemable Preference Shares held by the B Redeemable Preference Shareholder for a cash payment representing the Shareholder's share of the greater of (i) the undistributed vested performance allocation at that time and (ii) the maximum amount payable by the GPCo under the Law, such share to be calculated on the basis of the proportion calculated by dividing the number of B Redeemable Preference Shares held by such a Shareholder prior to any redemptions by that Shareholder pursuant under this section by the number of B Redeemable Preference Shares in issue prior to any redemptions pursuant under this clause by any Shareholder. Subject to the provisions of the Law, the GPCo shall then redeem such B Redeemable Preference Shares accordingly within two business days of receipt of the election and shall within one month thereafter give notice in writing of such redemption to the Guernsey Registry.

e) The B Redeemable Preference Shares shall have no voting rights, save where any undistributed vested performance allocation remains outstanding for more than 5 business days when each B Redeemable Preference Share in the GPCo shall carry 10 votes at any general meeting of the GPCo.
