 11. Additional information (xvi) 
 Oakley Capital Private Equity L.P. ("Fund I"), one of the private equity 
  funds advised by Oakley Capital Limited, has reached the end of its term 
  and has been liquidated, whereupon Oakley Capital Manager Limited ("OCML") 
  was appointed as liquidating trustee. Fund I's remaining investments 
  consisted solely of a direct 19.92 per cent shareholding in Time Out 
  Group PLC ("Time Out"). On 28 December 2023, Fund I made an in-specie 
  transfer of these shares to all Fund I investors, which has increased 
  Oakley Capital Investments Limited's ("OCI" or the "Company") direct 
  shareholding (the "In-Specie Transfer"). 
 
  An agreement (the "Agreement") has also been entered into by Fund I and 
  the Company to, immediately prior to the In-Specie Transfer, settle Fund 
  I's outstanding loan (the "Fund I Loan") previously extended to it by 
  OCI and comprising approximately GBP8.0m of principal and GBP0.1m of 
  interest outstanding, via the transfer of shares in Time Out (settlement 
  of the Fund I loan together with the In-Specie Transfer, the "Transaction"). 
 
  As a result of the Transaction, Shares in Time Out have been transferred 
  to OCI, resulting in a reduction of the Company's look-through ownership 
  in Time Out via its interest in Fund I to zero, and an increase in its 
  direct equity ownership in Time Out from 19.92 per cent. to 37.98 per 
  cent. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding interest held by Fund 
  I in Time Out as a result of the Transaction will decrease to 0%.
