The Callable Bonds shall cease trading on the Malta Stock Exchange from and including 8 November 2022 and shall remain suspended until such time as they are redeemed or as otherwise announced by the Company. In the event that the New Bond Issue is not subscribed up to the minimum amount of €10,000,000, trading on the Callable Bonds shall be resumed.
The balance of the New Bonds not subscribed for by holders of the Callable Bonds limitedly by means of Callable Bond Transfer, if any, shall be made available for subscription to holders of the Callable Bonds in respect of any additional New Bonds applied for other than by Callable Bond Transfer in accordance with the allocation policy as determined by the Company.
In the event that following the allocations made pursuant to the above there shall still remain unallocated New Bonds, the Company shall offer such remaining New Bonds through an Intermediaries' Offer.
Additional information on the New Bond Issue and the related prospectus shall be issued once regulatory approval has been obtained.
