The Possible Acquisition shall be subject to the entering into of the Formal Agreement. Neither party to the MOU has any legal obligation to consummate the Possible Acquisition. The parties also acknowledge that the Exclusivity Period may be extended by their mutual written consents.
In the event that the Formal Agreement is entered into and the Possible Acquisition materialises, it may constitute a notifiable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules. The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate.
