The Company invites Eligible Shareholders to consider the opportunity to apply for New Shares over and above their Entitlement ( Additional New Shares ), pursuant to the Prospectus.
Where fractions arise in the calculation of Entitlements, they will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares and New Options.
The New Shares will rank equally with the existing ordinary Shares from the date of issue.

The Company also has 18,000,000 unquoted unvested options on issue. Holders of unquoted unvested options will not be eligible to participate in the Rights issue in respect of these options.
