Assuming the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional on the First Closing Date, the Offer will remain open for acceptance for not less than 14 days thereafter in accordance with the Takeovers Code. If the Offer does not become unconditional on or before Tuesday, 2 February 2021, the Offer will lapse unless the Offer is extended in accordance with the Takeovers Code.

  3.

The Offeror has the right, subject to the Takeovers Code, to extend the Offer until such date as the Offeror may determine or as permitted by the Executive, in accordance with the Takeovers Code. If such right to extend the Offer is exercised, the Offeror will issue an announcement in relation to any such extension, which will state the next closing date or, if the Offer is unconditional as to acceptances, a statement may be made that the Offer will remain open until further notice. In the latter case, at least 14 days’ notice will be given before the Offer is closed, to those shareholders who have not accepted the Offer and an announcement will be published.

  6. In accordance with the Takeovers Code, except with the consent of the Executive, the Offer may not become or be declared unconditional as to acceptances after 7:00 p.m. on the 60th day after posting of the Composite Document. Where a period laid down by the Takeovers Code ends on a day which is not a Business Day, the period is extended until the next Business Day.
