  2. In accordance with the Takeovers Code, the Company is required to post the Offeree Document within 14 days from the posting of the Offer Document, unless the Executive consents to a later date and the Offeror agrees to extend the closing date by the number of days in respect of which the delay in the posting of the Offeree Document is agreed.

  3. In accordance with the Takeovers Code, where the Offeree Document is posted after the date on which the Offer Document is posted, the Offers must remain open for acceptance for at least 28 days following the date on which the Offer Document is posted. The Offers may or may not be revised/extended as the Offeror may determine in accordance with the Takeovers Code (or as permitted by the Executive in accordance with the Takeovers Code). The Offeror will issue an announcement in relation to any revision or extension of the Offers, which will state the next closing date or, if the Offers have become or are at that time unconditional as to acceptance, that the Offers will remain open until further notice. In the latter case, at least 14 days’ notice in writing must be given, before the Offers are closed and an announcement must be published. In any event, where the Offers become or are declared unconditional (whether as to acceptances or in all respects), the Offers will remain open for acceptance for not less than 14 days thereafter in accordance with the Takeovers Code.

  4. Subject to the Offers becoming unconditional, remittance in respect of the consideration payable for the Offer Shares, the Warrants and the Options tendered under the Offers will be posted by ordinary post to the Shareholders, the Warrantholders or the Optionholders accepting the Offers respectively at their own risk as soon as possible, but in any event within seven (7) Business Days following the later of the date on which the Offers become, or are declared, unconditional and the date of receipt by the Registrar of all the relevant documents to render the acceptances under the Offers complete and valid in accordance with the Takeovers Code.
