WH Ireland Group plc
("WH Ireland", the "Company" or the "Group") (AIM: WHI)
Trading Update and Proposed Placing to raise approximately
GBP5.0 million
The Company announces it is carrying out a conditional placing
to raise approximately GBP5.0 million, before expenses, by way of
the issue of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the
"Placing") to certain existing shareholders and other investors at
a price of 3 pence per share (the "Placing Price").
The Placing Price represents a discount of approximately 86.67
per cent. to the Closing Price of 22.5 pence per Ordinary Share on
27 July 2023, being the latest practicable business day prior to
the publication of this Announcement.
As the Placing Price is lower than the current nominal value of
the Ordinary Shares, the Company is also proposing to carry out the
Share Sub-division.
Background to and Reasons for the Placing
In the three-month period ended 30 June 2023, the Company made a
pre-tax loss of GBP1.1m (on a statutory basis, unaudited) on
revenues of c.GBP5.6m (unaudited). The loss in the period is as a
result of the widely reported multi-year low level of transactional
activity in the financial capital markets that has impacted the
Group's Capital Markets division ("CM"), alongside a reduction in
assets under management ("AUM") for the Group's Wealth Management
division ("WM"), in part due to weaker market conditions impacting
client portfolio size.
With market conditions remaining challenging, including
transactional activity in the CM division being typically at
seasonally lower levels during the summer months, the Directors do
not believe that there will be an improvement in CM transactional
activity during the current quarter nor do the Directors believe
there will be an uplift in AUM within the WM division over the same
period. The Directors therefore believe the Group will remain loss
making until at least November 2023.
In recent weeks, on the basis of the adverse current and
forecast trading and resultant losses, the Company has been in
discussion with the FCA (including in respect of the Group's
relevant net asset and regulatory capital positions) in order to
ensure that, in the absence of the injection of further capital
pursuant to the Placing, the Company could deliver a solvent wind
down for the Group, if required, in line with the Company's solvent
wind down plan ("SWDP"). A solvent wind down plan is a plan drawn
up in accordance with regulatory requirements in order to
facilitate an orderly wind down of a regulated firm, as further
described below. The current regulatory capital position of the
Group (as at 30 June 2023) is a c.GBP1.9m shortfall below the
current FCA regulatory capital requirement. On the basis of the
adverse current and forecast trading and resultant losses, without
further funding pursuant to the Placing, the SWDP would be required
to be implemented on 31 July 2023. The Company is also in
discussions with the FCA with regard to agreeing certain voluntary
restrictions, such as not paying dividends, for a period of
time.
In order to reduce costs, the Company will commence a collective
consultation regarding headcount reduction. In addition, it is
proposed that certain senior management team members would
sacrifice a proportion of their salary in consideration of being
awarded with options to subscribe, at nil cost, for such number of
New Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price, as is equal to the amount
of salary sacrificed. This programme is anticipated to reduce
annual costs by in the range of GBP3.75m to GBP4m. The full extent
of the savings is anticipated to be realised during the course of
calendar year Q4 2023.
The Directors believe that the combination of the Placing and
the cost reduction exercise gives the Group an improved chance of
returning to a break-even position and securing the future of the
Group instead of implementing the SWDP. Accordingly, the Placing is
being undertaken in order to provide working capital, secure the
current regulatory capital position and achieve a more stable
financial position for the Group against the current market
backdrop. Prior to the Placing, the Board had actively explored
asset sales. The Directors will assess the benefit of asset sales
to Shareholders should any future market opportunities arise.
Given the financial position of the Group and the timeframe
within which funds need to be raised (including for regulatory
reasons), the Placing Shares are to be issued at a deep discount to
the Closing Price on 27 July 2023.
Detailed Financial Position
As at 30 June 2023, the Company had cash of GBP3.7m (on a
statutory basis, unaudited), Assets Under Management in WM were
GBP1.34bn, Group Assets Under Management were GBP1.95bn.
Reasons for the Placing and use of proceeds
The Directors consider that, in light of the financial position
of the Company set out above and given the challenging current
market conditions (as well as the macro-economic pressures which
continue to impact investment activity both in the UK and globally,
across all sectors in which the Group operates), it is necessary
urgently to boost the Company's capital position through the
Placing. Accordingly, the Company intends to use the net proceeds
raised from the Placing for FCA regulatory capital requirements; to
fund the costs associated with the Group's cost cutting exercise;
for the provision of certain discretionary bonuses for retention
purposes in the WM division from the prior financial year; and for
working capital purposes.
As set out above, if the Company is unable to raise the funds in
the Placing, it will be required to implement its SWDP. A solvent
wind down is a plan drawn up in accordance with regulatory
requirements in order to ensure a regulated firm has sufficient
financial and other resources necessary to facilitate an orderly
wind-down. The Company is required to maintain such a plan by the
FCA in order to mitigate the risk of negative effects on consumers
and market participants in the event that it is unviable to
continue to carry on its undertaking. The Company's SWDP envisages
a wind down process of up to 9 months during which time the
management would, if the SWDP were to be implemented, facilitate
the orderly transfer of all of the Company's clients to new
advisers.
Major Shareholder Support
Pursuant to the Placing, TFG Asset Management UK, the Company's
largest shareholder, has indicated (on behalf of the Polygon Funds)
that Polygon Funds intend to participate in the Placing up to a
maximum of GBP2.5 million and a minimum of GBP2 million. TFG Asset
Management UK is currently interested in 28.5 per cent. of the
Company's issued share capital (including 1,310,278 Ordinary Shares
by way of contracts for differences) and, accordingly, assuming
such participation in, and following completion of, the Placing,
TFG Asset Management UK would be interested (for the purpose of the
City Code) in New Ordinary Shares carrying 30 per cent. or more of
the Company's voting share capital, which would ordinarily result
in TFG Asset Management UK having to make a mandatory offer under
Rule 9 of the City Code.
However, the Panel has agreed to waive the obligation on TFG
Asset Management UK (or any person acting in concert with it) to
make a mandatory cash offer under Rule 9 of the City Code that
would otherwise arise as a result of its participation in the
Placing (the " Rule 9 Waiver ") , subject to the approval of such
waiver by independent shareholders on a poll.
In the event that the Resolution to approve the Rule 9 Waiver is
approved, and on the assumption that the Placing is completed and
that TFG Asset Management UK subscribed for the maximum amount
cited above, and that no person exercises any options or other
rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares or New Ordinary Shares, as
at Admission, the maximum aggregate interest of TFG Asset
Management UK (and any persons acting in concert with it) in shares
which carry voting rights in the Company (for the purpose of the
City Code) would be 43.18 per cent.
As the Placing Price is lower than the current nominal value of
the Ordinary Shares, the Company is also proposing to carry out the
Share Sub-division.
The Placing is subject to shareholder approval (amongst other
things):
-- to grant the necessary authorities to issue the Placing Shares;
-- to effect the Share Sub-division; and
-- of the Rule 9 Waiver, on a poll vote of independent
shareholders in accordance with the City Code.
Shareholders which together hold, or are able to control the
voting in respect of, Ordinary Shares representing approximately
(i) 37.84 per cent. of the Ordinary Shares expected to be entitled
to vote on the Resolution, have irrevocably undertaken to vote in
favour of the Resolution to approve the Rule 9 Waiver; and (ii)
63.05 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares, have irrevocably
undertaken to vote in favour of the other Resolutions.
In addition, the Company has received letters of intent which
together hold, or are able to control the voting in respect of,
Ordinary Shares representing approximately (i) 20.54 per cent. of
the Ordinary Shares expected to be entitled to vote on the
Resolution, to vote in favour of the Resolution to approve the Rule
9 Waiver; and (ii) 15.25 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares,
to vote in favour of the other Resolutions.
W H Ireland Limited is acting as sole bookrunner and broker in
relation to the Placing (the "Broker") and a placing agreement has
been entered into today between the Company and the Broker in
connection with the Placing (the "Placing Agreement"). Canaccord
Genuity Limited is acting as nominated adviser to the Company, and
also Rule 3 adviser in respect of the Rule 9 Waiver.
The Placing is to be conducted by way of an accelerated
bookbuild process which will commence immediately following this
Announcement and will be subject to the terms and conditions set
out in Appendix III to this Announcement.
A further announcement confirming the closing of the Bookbuild
and the number of Placing Shares proposed to be issued pursuant to
the Placing is expected to be made in due course.
Placing Details
-- Placing of New Ordinary Shares to raise approximately GBP5.0 million (before expenses).
-- Placing to be conducted via an accelerated bookbuild process launching today.
-- The Placing is conditional upon the passing of the
Resolutions, including the approval of the Rule 9 Waiver by
independent shareholders.
-- Irrevocable undertakings and letters of intent to vote in
favour of the Resolutions received in respect of 58.37 per cent. of
the Ordinary Shares expected to be entitled to vote on the
Resolution to approve the Rule 9 Waiver and 78.30 per cent. of the
Existing Ordinary Shares in respect of the other Resolutions.
-- The net proceeds raised from the issue of the Placing Shares
will be used for the purposes set out in the Background to and
Reasons for the Placing paragraph above.
-- The Placing Shares, assuming full take-up and completion of
the Placing, will represent approximately 70.63 per cent. of the
Enlarged Share Capital, including the issue of Fee Shares (as
defined below).
The Placing
W H Ireland Limited (the "Broker"), is acting as sole bookrunner
and broker in connection with the Placing. The Placing Shares are
being offered by way of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild"),
which will be launched immediately following this Announcement, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Appendix III to
this Announcement.
The issue of the Placing Shares is conditional, inter alia,
upon:
-- the passing of the Resolutions;
-- the delivery by the Company to the Broker of certain
documents required under the Placing Agreement;
-- the Company having fully performed its obligations under the
Placing Agreement (to the extent that such obligations fall to be
performed prior to Admission); and
-- the Placing Agreement having become unconditional and not
having been terminated by the Broker in accordance with its
terms.
Subject to satisfaction of the relevant conditions, it is
expected that Admission will become effective and dealing in the
Placing Shares will commence , at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on or
around 15 August 2023.
The Broker has the right to terminate the Placing Agreement in
certain circumstances prior to Admission, including (but not
limited to): in the event that any of the warranties set out in the
Placing Agreement are not true and accurate when given or the
Company fails to comply with any of its obligations prior to
Admission. The Broker may also terminate the Placing Agreement if
there has been a material adverse change in there has been a
material adverse change in national or international financial,
political, economic, monetary or stock market conditions (primary
or secondary) or an imposition of or compliance with any law or
governmental or regulatory order, rule, regulation, restriction or
direction which, in the opinion of a Broker, makes it impractical
or inadvisable to proceed with the Placing or Admission. If this
termination right is exercised or if the conditionality in the
Placing Agreement is not satisfied, the Placing will not
proceed.
In addition, if the Placing is successful, the Company has
agreed to issue Harry Ansell 4,166,666 New Ordinary Shares in lieu
of advisory fees to the Company ("Fee Shares").
The timing of the closure of the Bookbuild, the number of
Placing Shares and the allocation of the Placing Shares between
Placees is to be determined at the discretion of the Company and
the Broker.
A further announcement will be made following the closure of the
Bookbuild, confirming the results of the Placing and a circular
convening the General Meeting to consider the Resolutions is
expected to be despatched shortly.
The expected timetable of principal events in connection with
the Placing is set out in Appendix I to this Announcement.
Intentions of Non-Executive Directors
As the Company moves forward following its recapitalisation, the
current independent Non-Executive Directors, Simon Lough, Helen
Sinclair and Thomas Wood, believe that this is an appropriate time
for them to consider stepping down, thereby allowing the
appointment of new Non-Executive Directors to develop an
appropriate fresh strategy for the Company. They are fully
committed to working with the Company to affect an orderly
transition and handover in the coming months to a new team of
independent Non-Executive Directors, yet to be identified. The
dates that the current Non-Executive Directors will cease to be
Directors will be confirmed in due course.
The Directors are mindful of the associated corporate governance
and regulatory requirements for the Company in the selection of
appropriate candidates and maintaining an appropriate balance and
composition to the Board.

obtained from the securities commission of any province or
territory of Canada; no prospectus has been lodged with or
registered by, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
or the Japanese Ministry of Finance or the South African Reserve
Bank; and the Placing Shares have not been, nor will they be,

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Rules"), and
disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort,
contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes
of the UK Product Governance Rules) may otherwise have with respect
thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval
process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i)
compatible with an end target market of investors who meet the
criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each
defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook
("COBS"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all
distribution channels as are permitted by the UK Product Governance
Rules (the "UK Target Market Assessment").
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in
financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and
10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing
MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID
II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which
any "manufacturer" and/or "distributor" (for the purposes of the
MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with
respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product
approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are:
(i) compatible with an end target market of: (a) investors who meet
the criteria of professional clients and (b) eligible
counterparties (each as defined in MiFID II); and (ii) eligible for
distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by
MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment").
Notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment and the EU
Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price
of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all
or part of their investment; such securities offer no guaranteed
income and no capital protection; and an investment in such
securities is compatible only with investors who do not need a
guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in
conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment
and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses
that may result therefrom.
Each of the UK Target Market Assessment and the EU Target Market
Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or
regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing.
Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the UK Target Market
Assessment and the EU Target Market Assessment, the Broker will
only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional
clients and eligible counterparties each as defined under COBS or
MiFID II, as applicable.
For the avoidance of doubt, each of the UK Target Market
Assessment and the EU Target Market Assessment does not constitute:
(a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the
purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS or MiFID II, as
applicable; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of
investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action
whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.
Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustees)
who have a contractual or other legal obligation to forward a copy
of this Appendix or the Announcement of which it forms part should
seek appropriate advice before taking any action.
These terms and conditions apply to persons making an offer to
acquire Placing Shares. Each Placee hereby agrees with the Broker
and the Company to be bound by these terms and conditions. A Placee
shall, without limitation, become so bound if the Broker confirms
to such Placee its allocation of Placing Shares.
Upon being notified of its allocation of Placing Shares, a
Placee shall be contractually committed to acquire the number of
Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price and otherwise
on the terms and conditions set out in this Announcement and, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, will be deemed to have agreed
not to exercise any rights to rescind or terminate or otherwise
withdraw from such commitment.
In this Appendix, unless the context otherwise requires,
"Placee" means a Relevant Person (including individuals, funds or
others) on whose behalf a commitment to subscribe for or acquire
Placing Shares has been given.
Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares
The Broker and the Company have entered into a Placing
Agreement, under which the Broker has, on the terms and subject to
the conditions set out therein, undertaken to use its reasonable
endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the
Placing Price. The Placing is not being underwritten by the Broker
or any other person.
The number of the Placing Shares will be determined following
completion of the Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the
Bookbuild and the number and allocation of Placing Shares, are at
the discretion of the Broker, following consultation with the
Company. Allocations will be confirmed orally or by email by the
Broker following the close of the Bookbuild. A further announcement
confirming these details will then be made as soon as practicable
following completion of the Bookbuild.
The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the Articles
, will be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu in all
respects with the existing New Ordinary Shares at such time,
including the right to receive all dividends and other
distributions (if any) declared, made or paid on or in respect of
New Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing
Shares.
Application for admission to trading on AIM
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for
admission to trading on AIM of the Placing Shares. Subject (amongst
other things) to the passing of the Resolutions, it is expected
that settlement of any such shares and Admission will become
effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on or around 15 August 2023 and
that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.
Bookbuild
The Broker will today commence an accelerated bookbuilding
process to determine demand for participation in the Placing by
potential Placees at the Placing Price. This Appendix gives details
of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation
in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by
Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.
The Broker and the Company shall be entitled to effect the
Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as it may, in
its sole discretion, determine.
The principal terms of the Placing are as follows:
1. The Broker is arranging the Placing as agent for, and broker of, the Company.
2. Participation in the Placing is only available to persons who
are lawfully able to be, and have been, invited to participate by
the Broker.
3. The Bookbuild, if successful, will establish the number of
Placing Shares to be issued at the Placing Price, which will be
determined by the Broker, in consultation with the Company,
following completion of the Bookbuild. The results of the Placing,
including the number of Placing Shares, will be announced on a
Regulatory Information Service following completion of the
Bookbuild.
4. To bid in the Bookbuild, prospective Placees should
communicate their bid by telephone to their usual contact at the
Broker. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which
the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe. Bids may be scaled down
by the Broker on the basis referred to in paragraph 8 below.
5. The timing of the closing of the Bookbuild will be at the discretion of the Broker.
6. Allocations of the Placing Shares will be determined by the
Broker, following consultation with the Company. Each Placee's
allocation will be confirmed to Placees orally, or by email, by the
Broker following the close of the Bookbuild and a trade
confirmation or contract note will be dispatched as soon as
possible thereafter. Oral or emailed confirmation from the Broker
will give rise to an irrevocable, legally binding commitment by
that person (who at that point becomes a Placee), in favour of the
Broker and the Company, under which it agrees to acquire by
subscription the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the
Placing Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the
conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the
Articles. Except with the Broker's consent, such commitment will
not be capable of variation or revocation.
7. The Company will make a further announcement following the
close of the Bookbuild detailing the results of the Placing and the
number of Placing Shares to be issued at the Placing Price.
8. Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 above, the Broker may choose
not to accept bids and/or to accept bids, either in whole or in
part, on the basis of allocations determined at its discretion
(after consultation with the Company) and may scale down any bids
for this purpose on such basis as it may determine. The Broker may
also, notwithstanding paragraphs 4 and 5 above, subject to the
prior consent of the Company, allocate Placing Shares after the
time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after
that time.
9. A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject
to the conditions in the Announcement (including this Appendix) and
will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made
and, except with the Broker's consent, will not be capable of
variation or revocation from the time at which it is submitted.
10. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or
other announcement will be made by the Broker or the Company using
the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee
(or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written
consent.
11. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation
pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing
Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to
be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under
"Registration and Settlement".
12. All obligations of the Broker under the Placing will be
subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below
"Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated
on the basis referred to below under "Right to terminate under the
Placing Agreement".
13. By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its
rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate
only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable
of rescission or termination by the Placee.
14. To the fullest extent permissible by law and the applicable
rules of the FCA, neither the Broker, nor any of its affiliates,
agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability
to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a
Placee or otherwise whether or not a recipient of these terms and
conditions) in respect of the Placing. In particular, neither the
Broker, nor any of its respective affiliates, agents, directors,
officers or employees shall have any liability (including to the
extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the
Broker's conduct of the Placing or of such alternative method of
effecting the Placing as the Broker and the Company may
determine.
Conditions of the Placing
The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming
unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its
terms.
The Broker's obligations under the Placing Agreement in respect
of the Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:
1. the passing of the Resolutions;
2. the delivery by the Company to the Broker of certain
documents required under the Placing Agreement;
3. the Company having performed its obligations under the
Placing Agreement to the extent that such obligations fall to be
performed prior to Admission;
4. the issue and allotment of the Placing Shares, conditional only upon Admission;
5. Admission occurring by no later than 8.00 a.m. (London time)
on 15 August 2023 or such other date and time as may be agreed
between the Company and the Broker, not being later than 8.00 a.m.
(London time) on 29 September 2023 (the "Long Stop Date"); and
6. the Placing Agreement not having been terminated by the
Broker in accordance with its terms.
If: (i) any of the conditions contained in the Placing
Agreement, including those described above, are not fulfilled or
(where applicable) waived by the Broker by the respective time or
date where specified (or such later time or date as the Broker may
notify to the Company, being not later than the Long Stop Date);
(ii) any of such conditions becomes incapable of being fulfilled;
or (iii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the circumstances
specified below, the Placing will not proceed and the Placees'
rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares
shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that
no claim can be made by the Placee in respect thereof.
The Broker may, at its discretion and upon such terms as it
thinks fit, waive, or extend the period for (subject to the Long
Stop Date), compliance by the Company with the whole or any part of
any of the Company's obligations in relation to the conditions in
the Placing Agreement. Any such extension or waiver will not affect
Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.
Neither the Broker, the Company nor any of their respective
affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any
liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on
behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they
may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or
date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for
any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition
or in respect of the Placing generally and, by participating in the
Placing, each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the
absolute discretion of the Broker.
Right to terminate the Placing Agreement
The Broker is entitled, at any time before Admission, to
terminate the Placing Agreement by giving notice to the Company in
certain circumstances, including, inter alia:
1. if any of the warranties given in the Placing Agreement are
not true and accurate when given;
2. the Company has failed to comply with its obligations under
the Placing Agreement, or with the requirements of any applicable
laws or regulations in relation to the Placing, in the period prior
to Admission;
3. any of the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement are
not fulfilled or (if capable of waiver) waived by the Broker or
shall have become incapable of being fulfilled by the respective
time(s) and date(s) (if any) specified in the Placing
Agreement;
4. there has been any development or event which will or is
likely to have a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial, operational, legal or otherwise), prospects, solvency,
liquidity, management, results of operations, financial position,
business or general affairs of the Group taken as a whole, whether
or not foreseeable and whether or not arising in the ordinary
course of business; or
5. there has been a material adverse change in national or
international financial, political, economic, monetary or stock
market conditions (primary or secondary) or an imposition of or
compliance with any law or governmental or regulatory order, rule,
regulation, restriction or direction,
which, in the opinion of the Broker, makes it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with the Placing or Admission.
The rights and obligations of the Placees will not be subject to
termination by the Placees or any prospective Placees at any time
or in any circumstances. By participating in the Placing, Placees
agree that the exercise by the Broker of any right of termination
or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the
absolute discretion of the Broker and that the Broker need not make
any reference to Placees in this regard and that neither the Broker
nor any of its respective affiliates shall have any liability to
Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure
so to exercise.
No Admission Document or Prospectus
The Placing Shares are being offered to a limited number of
specifically invited persons only and have not been nor will they
be offered in such a way as to require the publication of a
prospectus in the United Kingdom. No offering document, admission
document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved
by the FCA or the London Stock Exchange in relation to the Placing,
and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the
information contained in the Announcement (including this Appendix)
and the Publicly Available Information. Each Placee, by accepting a
participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this
Announcement is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and
confirms that it has not relied on any other information (other
than as stated above), representation, warranty, or statement made
by or on behalf of the Company or the Broker or any other person
and neither the Broker, the Company nor any other person will be
liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing
based on any other information, representation, warranty or
statement which the Placees may have obtained or received and, if
given or made, such information, representation, warranty or
statement must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the
Broker, the Company or their respective officers, directors,
employees or agents. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it
has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or
other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the
Placing. Neither the Company nor the Broker are making any
undertaking or warranty to any Placee regarding the legality of an
investment in the Placing Shares by such Placee under any legal,
investment or similar laws or regulations. Each Placee should not
consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or
business advice. Each Placee should consult its own solicitor, tax
adviser and financial adviser for independent legal, tax and
financial advice regarding an investment in the Placing Shares.
Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person
for fraudulent misrepresentation.
Registration and Settlement
Following closure of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated
Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation or
contract note in accordance with the standing arrangements in place
with the Broker, stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to
it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee
(in pounds sterling) and a form of confirmation in relation to
settlement instructions.
Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things
necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as
directed by the Broker in accordance with the standing CREST
settlement instructions which they have in place with the
Broker.
Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN:
GB0009241885) following Admission will take place within CREST
provided that, subject to certain exceptions, the Broker reserves
the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing
Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that
it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or
practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in this
Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory
requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.
It is expected that settlement will take place in accordance
with the instructions set out in the contract note.
Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from
Placees on the due date(s) in accordance with the arrangements set
out above at the rate of 4 percentage points above the prevailing
LIBOR rate as determined by the Broker.
Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with
these obligations, the Broker may sell any or all of the Placing
Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain
from the proceeds, for the Broker's account and benefit (as agent
for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by
the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will,
however, remain liable and shall indemnify the Broker on demand for
any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be
required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or
securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties)
which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such
Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each
Placee confers on the Broker such authorities and powers necessary
to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all
actions which the Broker lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.
Legal and/or beneficial title in and to any Placing Shares shall
not pass to the relevant Placee until it has fully complied with
its obligations hereunder.
If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or
settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the form of
confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant
person within that organisation.
Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or
that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee
is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such
Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered
free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax
or securities transfer tax. Neither the Broker nor the Company will
be liable in any circumstances for the payment of stamp duty, stamp
duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax in connection with any
of the Placing Shares. Placees will not be entitled to receive any
fee or commission in connection with the Placing.
Representations, Warranties and Further Terms
By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person
acting on such Placee's behalf) makes the following

Announcement;
2. that its obligations are irrevocable and legally binding and
shall not be capable of rescission or termination by it in any
circumstances;
3. that the exercise by the Broker of any right or discretion
under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion

shall have no liability to it whatsoever in connection with any
decision to exercise or not to exercise any such right and each
Placee agrees that it has no rights against the Broker or the
Company, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees
agents or advisers, under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the
Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999;

neither the Company, the Broker nor any of their respective
officers, directors or employees will have any liability for any
such other information, representation or warranty, express or

Placing Shares acquired by it in the Placing have not been acquired
on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their

part of domestic UK law pursuant to the EUWA) (as the case may be)
as having been made to such persons;
6. that neither it nor, as the case may be, its clients expect
the Broker to have any duties or responsibilities to such persons
similar or comparable to the duties of "best execution" and
"suitability" imposed by the FCA's Conduct of Business Source Book,
and that the Broker is not acting for it or its clients, and that
the Broker will not be responsible for providing the protections
afforded to customers of the Broker or for providing advice in

agents, directors, officers or employees or any person acting on
behalf of any of them has provided, other than the information in
this Announcement and the Publicly Available Information; nor has

contract, understanding or arrangement with any person to sell,
pledge, transfer or grant a participation therein to such person or
any third person with respect of any Placing Shares; save that if
it is a private client stockbroker or fund manager it confirms that

and it is not acting on an execution only basis or under specific
instructions to purchase the Placing Shares for the account of any
third party;
37. that it acknowledges that these terms and conditions and any

exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards any claim,
dispute or matter arising out of any such contract, except that

which its assets are located or any of its securities have a

such information to any person, prior to such information being
made publicly available.
The Company, the Broker and their respective affiliates will
rely upon the truth and accuracy of each of the foregoing
representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings
which are given to the Broker for themselves and on behalf of the
Company and are irrevocable.
The provisions of this Appendix may be waived, varied or
modified as regards specific Placees or on a general basis by the
Broker.
The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription and/or purchase
(and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is
contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax
depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it
and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares
in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not
being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue
depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a
clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the
settlement relates to any other subsequent dealing in the Placing
Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for
which neither the Company or the Broker will be responsible, and
the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the
person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or
nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing
Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve
tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax
forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold
harmless the Company and the Broker in the event that any of the
Company and/or the Broker have incurred any such liability to UK
stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each
Placee should seek its own advice and notify the Broker
accordingly.
In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for
any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer,
registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any
interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the
UK by them or any other person on the subscription or purchase by
them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe
for or purchase any Placing Shares.
All times and dates in this Announcement (including the
Appendices) may be subject to amendment. The Broker shall notify
the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any
changes.
This Announcement has been issued by, and is the sole
responsibility, of the Company. No representation or warranty
express or implied, is or will be made as to, or in relation to,
and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by the
Broker or by any of its respective affiliates or agents as to or in
relation to, the accuracy or completeness of this Announcement or
any other written or oral information made available to or publicly
available to any interested party or its advisers, and any
liability therefore is expressly disclaimed.
