Continuation Vote

The Company stated in the Chairman's Statement of the 2019 Annual Report that it would voluntarily propose a continuation vote no later than the AGM in September 2020. Accordingly, a resolution will be put to shareholders at the above AGM in connection with the continuation of the Company.

If the relevant continuation resolution is not passed, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") will be required to put forward to shareholders plans to wind-up, reorganise or reconstruct the Company.

The resolution will be contained in the Company's Notice of AGM that will be sent to shareholders, along with its annual report and will be accompanied by the Board's recommendation to shareholders in respect of voting on the continuation resolution.

The Board has consulted with shareholders and has taken into account feedback received during those discussions and its intention is to recommend that shareholders vote against continuation of the Company. Further details on the background to this decision will be included in the Company's annual report.
