LAPSE OF THE OFFERS

The Share Offer shall be conditional upon, among other things, the valid acceptances of the Offers being received by 4:00 p.m. on 30 September 2016 in respect of such number of Shares which would result in the Offeror and parties acting in concert with him holding more than 50% of the voting rights in the Company. Each of the Warrant Offer and the Option Offer is conditional only upon the Share Offer becoming unconditional in all respects.

In light of the level of acceptance of the Offers as set out above, the condition of the Offers has not been satisfied, and therefore the Offers have not become unconditional and lapsed on 30 September 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, all outstanding Warrants have expired on 6 September 2016.

As the Offers lapsed, share certificate(s) and/or warrant certificate(s) and/or transfer receipt(s) and/or other document(s) of title in respect of the Shares and Warrants tendered for acceptance under the Offers will be, as soon as possible but in any event within ten (10) days hereof (i.e., on or before 11 October 2016), returned to those Shareholders and Warrantholders who have accepted the Offers by ordinary post.
