The definitions adopted in the Prospectus apply in this Supplementary Prospectus save where the terms are defined in the section of this Supplementary Prospectus entitled "Definitions" or where the context requires otherwise.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Liberum and Numis Securities, each of which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FCA, are acting exclusively for the Company and for no one else in relation to the arrangements referred to in the Prospectus. Numis is not acting as sponsor to this transaction. Neither Liberum nor Numis Securities will regard any other person (whether or not a recipient of this Supplementary Prospectus) as its client in relation to the arrangements referred to in this Supplementary Prospectus and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing any advice in relation to the contents of this Supplementary Prospectus or any transaction or arrangement referred to herein. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by Liberum or Numis Securities as to the accuracy, completeness or verification of the information set forth in this document, and nothing contained in this document is, or shall be relied upon as a promise or representation in this respect, whether as to the past or future. Neither Liberum nor Numis Securities assumes any responsibility for its accuracy, completeness or verification and accordingly disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all liability whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise which it might otherwise be found to have in respect of this Supplementary Prospectus or any such statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing referred to herein seeks to limit or exclude Liberum's or Numis' responsibilities and liabilities which may arise under FSMA or the regulatory regime established thereunder.
This Supplementary Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to acquire or subscribe securities in the United States or in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation is unlawful or would impose any unfulfilled registration, qualification, publication or approval requirements on the Company, the Investment Adviser, Liberum or Numis Securities Limited.
The Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or under the securities laws or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. Accordingly, the Shares may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of US persons (as defined in Regulation S), except pursuant to an exemption from or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Shares are being offered and sold (i) outside the United States to non-US-persons in reliance on Regulation S and (ii) within the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be QIBs, that are also QPs, and who deliver to the Company and Liberum or Numis Securities (as applicable) a signed Investor Representation Letter. The Company has not been, and will not be, registered under the Investment Company Act, and investors will not be entitled to the benefit of that Act. No offer, purchase, sale or transfer of the Shares may be made except under circumstances which will not result in the Company being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, any State securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of Shares or the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
This document does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of any offer of shares in any EEA Member State and has not been approved by a competent authority in any EEA Member State for the purposes of the EU Prospectus Regulation. Accordingly, the Shares may only be offered to persons in any EEA Member State who are "qualified investors" within the meaning of EU Prospectus Regulation or in other circumstances in which a prospectus is not required by the EU Prospectus Regulation and, in any event, subject to compliance with the requirements of the AIFMD as implemented in that EEA Member State.
