Following the Purchase and Exercise of Options, the Concert Party will have control of voting rights over 10,513,165 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 16.95% of the Company's issued share capital.
Total voting rights
Following this exercise of options, the Company's total issued share capital will remain unchanged, consisting of 62,033,617 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 62,033,617.
The above figure of 62,033,617 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
