ACCESS TO THIS MICROSITE MAY BE RESTRICTED UNDER SECURITIES LAWS IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS. THIS NOTICE REQUIRES YOU TO CONFIRM CERTAIN MATTERS (INCLUDING THAT YOU ARE NOT RESIDENT IN SUCH A JURISDICTION) BEFORE YOU MAY OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE MICROSITE. THE MICROSITE IS NOT DIRECTED AT, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE ACCESSIBLE BY, PERSONS RESIDENT IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF THAT JURISDICTION OR WOULD RESULT IN A REQUIREMENT TO COMPLY WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL OR OTHER CONSENT OR ANY REGISTRATION, FILING OR OTHER FORMALITY WHICH THE COMPANY REGARDS AS UNDULY ONEROUS (A “RESTRICTED JURISDICTION”).

 THIS MICROSITE CONTAINS ANNOUNCEMENTS, DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION (THE “INFORMATION”) PUBLISHED BY THE COMPANY AND/OR THE BIDDER RELATING TO THE OFFER IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE “CODE”). THIS INFORMATION IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE IN GOOD FAITH AND FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, AND ITS AVAILABILITY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT BELOW.

 

Please read this notice carefully – it applies to all persons who view the Microsite and, depending upon who you are and where you live, it may affect your rights. This notice and the information contained herein may be altered or updated from time to time, and should be read in full carefully each time you visit this part of the website. In addition, the contents of the Microsite may be amended at any time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s sole discretion.

 

Nothing on the Microsite, nor anything which can be downloaded from it, is intended to, and does not, constitute or form any part of an offer for sale or subscription or any solicitation for any offer to purchase or subscribe for any securities, or the solicitation of any votes attaching to securities which are or may be the subject of the Offer in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

Overseas Persons

Viewing the Information you are seeking to access may not be lawful in certain jurisdictions. In other jurisdictions, only certain categories of person may be allowed to view the Information. Any persons outside the United Kingdom who wish to view the Information must first satisfy themselves that they are not subject to any local requirements that prohibit or restrict them from doing so and should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements applicable in their jurisdiction.

 

If you are not a resident of or located in a Restricted Jurisdiction, you may access any communication or document in relation to the Offer but you are responsible for first satisfying yourself as to the full observance of the laws and regulatory requirements of your jurisdiction. If you are not permitted to view any communication or document in relation to the Offer by virtue of applicable laws or regulatory requirements, please exit this Microsite.

 

Copies of the contents of the Microsite are not being, and must not be, released or otherwise forwarded, published, distributed or sent, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in or into a Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute or send them in, into or from a restricted jurisdiction. You should not forward, transmit or show the announcements, information or documents contained on the Microsite. In particular, you should not forward or transmit the announcements, information or documents contained therein to any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so.

 

Notice to U.S. Investors

The Offer relates to shares in a United Kingdom (“UK”) company and is subject to UK procedural and disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States (“U.S.”).

 

Any financial statements or other financial information included in this Microsite has been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the UK and may not be comparable to financial information of U.S. companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

It may be difficult for shareholders in the U.S. to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the U.S. federal securities laws, since the Company is located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of its officers and directors are residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions. U.S. shareholders may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgement.

 

You should be aware that the Bidder may purchase or arrange to purchase the Company’s shares otherwise than under any offer or scheme related to the Offer, such as in the open market or privately negotiated purchases.

 

Basis of access

The Information is made available in good faith and does not constitute an offer to sell or otherwise dispose of or an invitation or solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for any securities pursuant to the Offer or otherwise in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

 

The Information has been prepared for the purposes of complying with UK law and the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and the Information may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this information had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction outside of England and Wales.

 

If you are not permitted to view materials on this Microsite or are in any doubt as to whether you are permitted to view these materials, please exit this Microsite and seek independent advice. None of the Company nor any of its advisors, nor any of the Parties or any of their advisers, assumes any responsibility for any violation by any person of any of these restrictions.

 

Responsibility

The information contained on this Microsite speaks only at the date of the relevant document or announcement reproduced on this Microsite, and the Company and its affiliated companies have and accept no responsibility or duty to update any such information, document or announcement. The Company reserves the right to add to, remove or amend any information reproduced on this Microsite at any time.

 

In relation to any document, announcement or information contained in the Microsite, the only responsibility accepted by the directors of the Company is for the correctness and fairness of its reproduction or presentation unless a responsibility statement in any relevant document expressly provides otherwise.

 

The directors of each of the Company and its affiliated companies and the Bidder and its affiliated companies have not reviewed, and no such person is or shall be responsible for or accepts any liability in respect of, any information contained on any other website which may be linked to or from this Microsite.

 

Forward-looking statements

The Information (including information incorporated by reference) in this Microsite may contain forward-looking statements regarding the current expectations of the management of the Company, and/or the Bidder, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations and are naturally subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in any document may be forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements also often use words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect”, “target”, “may”, “should”, “will” and words of similar meaning. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The important factors that could cause the Company’s or the Bidder’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the satisfaction of any conditions to the Offer. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the respective documents. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement (except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, including the Code, the rules made by the Financial Conduct Authority under Part VI of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange plc).

 

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement contained or referred to in this Microsite is intended to be a profit forecast or a profit estimate for any period.
