THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own personal financial advice immediately from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser authorised under the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) (“FSMA”) who specialises in advising on the acquisition of shares and other securities in the UK or, if you are resident in the Republic of Ireland, is duly authorised under the European Union (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2017 or the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 (as amended), or otherwise duly qualified in your jurisdiction. This Document does not constitute an offer or constitute any part of an offer to the public within the meaning of sections 85 and 102B of FSMA or otherwise. This Document does not comprise a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus (Directive 2003/71/EC) Regulations 2005 (as amended), Regulation (EC) 809/2004 implementing Directive 2003/71/EC and Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulations”) or within the meaning of section 85 of FSMA and does not constitute an offer of securities to the public in Ireland under the Prospectus Regulations or, within the meaning of section 102B of FSMA, the United Kingdom or elsewhere. This Document comprises an admission document in relation to AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange (“AIM”), and ESM, a market operated by Euronext Dublin (“ESM”). This Document has been drawn up in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies (the “AIM Rules”) and the ESM Rules for Companies (the “ESM Rules”) and has been issued in connection with the proposed Transaction, Admission and Placing. AIM and the ESM are both markets designed primarily for growth companies or emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies. AIM and ESM securities are not admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority or the Main Securities Market of Euronext Dublin (together, the “Official Lists”). A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser. The AIM Rules and the ESM Rules are less demanding than the rules applicable to companies where shares are listed on the premium/primary segments of the Official Lists and it is emphasised that no application is being made for admission of the Ordinary Shares to the Official Lists. Each AIM company is required pursuant to the AIM Rules to have a nominated adviser. The nominated adviser is required to make a declaration to the London Stock Exchange on admission in the form set out in Schedule Two to the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers. The London Stock Exchange has not itself examined or approved the contents of this Document. Each ESM company is required pursuant to the ESM Rules to have an ESM adviser. The ESM adviser is required to make a declaration to Euronext Dublin on admission in the form set out in Schedule 2 to the Rules for ESM Advisers. Euronext Dublin has not itself examined or approved the contents of this Document. You should read the entire text of this Document. Your attention is drawn to the Risk Factors set out in Part 2 (Risk Factors) of this Document which should be read in its entirety. The whole of this Document should be read in light of these Risk Factors. Application will be made for the Enlarged Share Capital to be admitted to trading on AIM and ESM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that trading in the Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM and ESM on 25 October 2018.
