Atalaya Mining Copper, S.A.

("Atalaya" or the "Company")

Proposed Fundraise to Accelerate Copper Project Development

Proceeds to advance growth projects to capitalise on copper market strength

Atalaya Mining (LSE: ATYM) is pleased to announce a proposed equity offering to raise gross proceeds of approximately £130 million (equivalent to approximately €150 million) by way of an institutional placing and a separate retail offer (together, the "Fundraise").

Proceeds from the Fundraise will allow Atalaya to accelerate the development of its copper growth projects in Spain in order to capitalise on strong copper market fundamentals. The Fundraise will also provide the Company with financial flexibility to optimise the ultimate funding package for Proyecto Touro while concurrently advancing its growth pipeline primarily in the Riotinto District. Together, the Company's growth projects have the potential to transform Atalaya into a 100,000 tonne per annum copper equivalent producer.

The Fundraise will be conducted via the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") and consists of:

·      a non-pre-emptive placing (the "Placing") of new Ordinary Shares to institutional investors at the Placing Price (as defined below) (the "Placing Shares"); and

·      a non-pre-emptive retail offer through Retail Book Limited ("RetailBook") for new Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price (the "RetailBook Offer Shares" and, together with the Placing Shares, the "Offer Shares") (the "Retail Offer").

Alberto Lavandeira, CEO, commented:

"Today we are launching a proposed equity raise principally to accelerate our growth projects in Spain, while further strengthening our balance sheet and enhancing our financial flexibility for the development of Touro. This disciplined funding strategy will enable us to advance our various projects in parallel in order to capitalise on positive copper market fundamentals. Atalaya is fortunate to have a portfolio of projects in the Riotinto District that can leverage our existing infrastructure to deliver higher grades and extend mine life."

Rationale for the Fundraise

Background

Atalaya continues to make progress across its pipeline of copper growth projects in Spain, with activity advancing in the Riotinto District. Against a backdrop of supportive copper market fundamentals, the Company believes there is a compelling opportunity to accelerate these work programmes across multiple projects, rather than developing them sequentially.

The Fundraise will also further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and enhance financial flexibility to optimise the ultimate funding package for Touro, while preserving the ability to pursue potential regional partnership and acquisition opportunities.

The Company's Board of Directors believe that this approach will support Atalaya's objective of delivering growth, diversifying its sources of production and, over time, creating a leading Spanish copper champion.

Atalaya's last equity offering was completed in December 2017 and raised approximately £31 million for the development of the 15 Mtpa Expansion Project at Proyecto Riotinto. Since then, the Company has self-funded its capital investments, maintained a conservative balance sheet and since its inaugural dividend in 2021, paid total dividends of approximately €84 million to its shareholders.

Intended Use of Proceeds

The Company expects to utilise the net proceeds of the Fundraise as follows:

·      Riotinto District copper growth projects

o  Project development:

§ San Dionisio stripping and road relocation

§ Masa Valverde access ramp

§ Polymetallic circuit engineering and potential long-lead orders

o  Resource definition and growth:

§ San Antonio

§ Masa Valverde

§ Iberian Pyrite Belt targets

·      Touro early works:

o  Detailed engineering

o  Long-lead orders

·      General corporate purposes:

o  Enhance financial flexibility to optimise Touro funding package

o  Potential new regional partnership and acquisition opportunities

o  Sweden exploration with MPS

o  Equity placing transaction costs

Atalaya continues to be confident that the environmental permitting process for Touro will be successful, based on the positive feedback the Company has received since being awarded strategic industrial project ("PIE") status by the Xunta de Galicia in June 2024.

As a result, Atalaya plans to preserve its existing net cash position of €122.0 million (as of 31 December 2025) to fund a material proportion of Touro's expected upfront capital requirements, and to provide the Company with financial flexibility as it finalises the remaining funding sources required to fully fund Touro, which could include new bank credit facilities.

Atalaya Positioning

Atalaya is a European "pure play" copper producer that has been operating Proyecto Riotinto since 2016. In 2025, the Company produced 51,139 tonnes of copper and has guided production of 50,000 to 54,000 tonnes for 2026.

The Company's portfolio of growth projects, when including Touro, provide a pathway to annual production of up to 100,000 tonnes of copper equivalent. At that point, Atalaya would be an intermediate, multi-asset copper producer with 100% of its production coming from operations in Spain.

Atalaya is led by an experienced management team that has built and operated several mines in Spain and internationally, including the re-start and expansions of Proyecto Riotinto, and is supported by a Board of Directors with decades of expertise in mining, capital markets, sustainability and finance.    

In 2025, the Atalaya's shares were added to the FTSE 250 Index, enhancing the Company's visibility to institutional investors.

Details of the Fundraise

BMO Capital Markets Limited ("BMO"), Canaccord Genuity Limited ("Canaccord") and Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") are acting as joint global co-ordinators and joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing (together the "Joint Global Co-ordinators"). Banco Santander, S.A. is acting as joint bookrunner in connection with the Placing ("Santander" and, together with the Joint Global Co-ordinators, the "Banks").

The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix I. The Joint Global Co-ordinators will immediately following this announcement commence a bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild"). The price per new Ordinary Share at which the Placing Shares are to be placed (the "Placing Price") will be decided at the close of the Bookbuild. The timing of the close of the Bookbuild, the Placing Price, the number of Placing Shares to be placed as well as allocation of the Placing Shares will be agreed between the Joint Global Co-ordinators and the Company following the close of the Bookbuild. The results of the Fundraise will be announced as soon as practicable following the close of the Bookbuild.

Concurrently with the Placing, there will be a separate offer by the Company on the RetailBook platform of RetailBook Offer Shares at the Placing Price to provide UK retail investors with an opportunity to participate in the Fundraise. The Retail Offer will be made on terms outlined in a separate announcement to be made shortly. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing and is the sole responsibility of the Company.

Together, the total number of Offer Shares will not exceed the Company's authority to issue shares on a non-pre-emptive basis.

Prior to launch of the Placing, the Company consulted with a number of its shareholders and other investors to gauge their feedback as to the terms of and potential participation in the Placing. The Company's Directors have concluded that the Placing is in the best interests of shareholders and wider stakeholders and will promote the long-term success of the Company and has therefore chosen to proceed with the Placing. The Placing is being structured through the Bookbuild to minimise execution and market risk.

Application will be made for the Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc ("London Stock Exchange") ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the Offer Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 2 February 2026.

The Fundraise is conditional upon, among other things, the placing agreement between the Company and the Banks not being terminated in accordance with its terms. Appendix I sets out further information relating to the Bookbuild and the terms and conditions of the Placing.

The Offer Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid.

The Company has undertaken to the Banks that, between the date of this Announcement and 180 calendar days after the date of Admission, it will not, directly or indirectly, issue or allot Ordinary Shares, subject to customary exceptions or waiver by the Joint Global Co-ordinators.

Appendix I to this Announcement (which forms part of this Announcement) sets out further information relating to the Bookbuild and the terms and conditions of the Placing. By choosing to participate in the Placing and by making an oral or written and legally binding offer to subscribe for Placing Shares, investors will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement in its entirety (including the Appendices) and to be making such offer on the terms and subject to the conditions in it, and to be providing the representations, warranties, agreements, confirmations, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in the Appendix.

Unless otherwise indicated, capitalised terms in this Announcement have the meaning given to them in Appendix II.

The person responsible for arranging release of this Announcement on behalf of the Company is César Sánchez.

This Announcement contains information which, prior to its publication constituted inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation.

Bookbuild

Following this Announcement, the Banks will commence the Bookbuild to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares. The book will open with immediate effect.

The Joint Global Co-ordinators and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Details of the Placing Agreement and of the Placing Shares

BMO, Canaccord and Peel Hunt are acting as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing. Santander is acting as joint bookrunner in connection with the Placing. The Banks are not acting for the Company with respect to the Retail Offer.

The Banks have today entered into an agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to the conditions set out therein, each Bank has severally (and not jointly nor jointly and severally) agreed, each as agent for and on behalf of the Company, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares in such number and at a price to be determined following completion of the Bookbuild. The price per Ordinary Share at which the Placing Shares are to be placed (the "Placing Price") and the final number of Placing Shares will be determined by the Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators at the close of the Bookbuild and will be set out in the executed terms of placing terms (the "Terms of Placing"). The timing and closing of the book,  pricing and allocations are at the discretion of the Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators. Details of the Placing Price and the number of Offer Shares will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild.

Subject to the execution of the Terms of Placing, each Bank has severally (and not jointly nor jointly and severally) agreed with the Company, in the event of any default by any Placee in paying the Placing Price in respect of any Placing Shares allotted to it, to take up such Placing Shares itself at the Placing Price in the agreed proportions to be set out in the Terms of Placing.

The Offer Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the Ordinary Shares after the date of issue. The Offer Shares will be issued free of any encumbrances, liens or other security interests.

Application for admission to trading

Application will be made to London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission of the Offer Shares to trading on its main market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Offer Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 2 February 2026 or such later time and date (being not later than 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 9 February 2026) as the Joint Global Co-ordinators and the Company may agree.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

1.            The Banks are arranging the Placing severally (and not jointly nor jointly and severally) as agents of the Company.

2.            Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by a Bank. Each Bank and its Affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild and participate in the Placing as principal.

3.            The Bookbuild, if successful, will establish the Placing Price payable to the Banks by all Placees whose bids are successful. The Placing Price and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the Placing will be agreed between the Joint Global Co-ordinators and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild and any discount to the market price of the Ordinary Shares will be determined in accordance with the UK Listing Rules and Spanish law. The Placing Price and the number of Offer Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following the completion of the Bookbuild (the "Placing Results Announcement").

4.            To bid in the Bookbuild, prospective Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or in writing to their usual sales contact at one of the Banks. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for either at the Placing Price which is ultimately established by the Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators or at prices up to a price limit specified in its bid. Bids may be scaled down by on the basis referred to in paragraph 8 below.

5.            A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and, except with the consent of the Joint Global Co-ordinators, will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted. Each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the relevant Bank, to pay the relevant Bank (or as it may direct), as agent of the Company, in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares that such Placee has agreed to subscribe for. Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company and the relevant Bank. The Company shall, conditional on Admission, allot such Placing Shares to each Placee following each Placee's payment to the relevant Bank of such amount.

6.            The Bookbuild will commence on the release of this Announcement and is expected to close no later than 7.00 a.m. (London time) on 28 January 2026, but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of the Joint Global Co-ordinators. The Joint Global Co-ordinators may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed.

7.            Each prospective Placee's allocation will be agreed between the Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators (together with, in the case of any Placees procured by Santander, Santander) and will be confirmed to prospective Placees orally or in writing by the relevant Bank, as agent of the Company, following the close of the Bookbuild and an electronic contract note or trade confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter. Subject to paragraph 5 above, the relevant Bank's oral or written confirmation to such prospective Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon such person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of such Bank and the Company, under which such Placee agrees to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it and to pay the Placing Price for each such Placing Share on the Terms and Conditions and in accordance with the Company's articles of association.

8.            Subject to paragraphs 4 and 7 above, the Company will agree with the Joint Global Co-ordinators the identity of the Placees and the basis of allocation of the Placing Shares and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as it may determine. Notwithstanding paragraphs 4 and 7 above, Placing Shares may be allocated (i) after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time; and (ii) after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement with the Joint Global Co-ordinators) to increase (or seek to reduce) the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing. The acceptance of bids shall be at the absolute discretion of the Joint Global Co-ordinators, subject to the prior consent of the Company.

9.            Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by a Bank 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.

10.          Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and settlement".

11.          All obligations under the Bookbuild and the Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing Agreement".

12.          By participating in the Bookbuild, 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 after confirmation (oral or otherwise) by a Bank.

13.          To the fullest extent permissible by law, no Bank nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting on behalf of any of them shall have any responsibility or liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in connection with the Placing, the Placing Shares or otherwise. In particular, no Bank nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting on behalf of any of them shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the fullest extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as each of the Joint Global Co-ordinators, its Affiliates and the Company may agree.

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 obligations of the Banks under the Placing Agreement are conditional on certain conditions, including (but not limited to):

(a)           the Terms of Placing having been executed by the Company and the Banks;

(b)           the publication by the Company of the Placing Results Announcement through a Regulatory Information Service immediately following the execution of the Terms of Placing;

(c)           the Company not being in breach of any of its obligations and undertakings under the Placing Agreement which fall to be performed or satisfied prior to the time specified in the Placing Agreement save to the extent that such breach, in the opinion of the Joint Global Co-ordinators (acting jointly and in good faith on behalf of themselves and the other Bank) is not material;

(d)           the representations and warranties given by the Company contained in the Placing Agreement being true, accurate and not misleading including: (i) as at and on the date of the Placing Agreement; (ii) as at the time of the execution of the Terms of Placing; and (iii) as at and on Admission, in each case, as though they had been given and made at such times and on such dates by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing,

(all conditions to the obligations of the Banks included in the Placing Agreement being together, the "Conditions").

If (i) any of the Conditions is not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived or extended by the Banks by the relevant time or date specified (or such later time and/or date the Joint Global Co-ordinators and the Company may agree); or (ii) the Placing Agreement is terminated in the circumstances specified below, the Placing will lapse 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 it in respect thereof.

The Joint Global Co-ordinators (acting for themselves and on behalf of the other Bank) may, at their discretion and upon such terms and conditions as they think fit, waive satisfaction of certain of the Conditions (save that Conditions (a) and (b) cannot be waived) or extend the time provided for their satisfaction. Any such waiver or extension will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement.

No Joint Global Co-ordinator nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting on behalf of any of them shall have any liability or responsibility to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision it or another person may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any Condition nor for any decision it 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 Joint Global Co-ordinators. Placees will have no rights against the Banks, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended) or otherwise.

Termination of the Placing Agreement

The Joint Global Co-ordinators are entitled in their absolute discretion, at any time prior to Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including, amongst other things:

(a)           any statement in any document or announcement issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Placing is or has become untrue, inaccurate or misleading, or any matter has arisen which would, if such document or announcement had been issued at that time, constitute an inaccuracy or omission from such document or announcement, save which in any such case, in the opinion of any Joint Global Co-ordinator (acting in good faith), is not material;

(b)           there has been a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement, save which in any such case, in the opinion of any Joint Global Co-ordinator (acting in good faith), is not material;

(c)           there has been a breach by the Company of any of the warranties or representations given by the Company contained in the Placing Agreement or any of such warranties or representations is not, or ceases to be, true, accurate and not misleading;

(d)           in the opinion of any Joint Global Co-ordinator (acting in good faith), there has been a Material Adverse Change; or

(e)           upon the occurrence of certain force majeure events.

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees with the Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators that the exercise or non-exercise by each Joint Global Co-ordinator of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Joint Global Co-ordinators or for agreement between the Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators (as the case may be) and that neither the Company nor the Joint Global Co-ordinators need make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that none of the Company nor any Joint Global Co-ordinators nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting on behalf of any of them shall have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure to so exercise.

No prospectus

No offering document, prospectus, offering memorandum or admission document has been or will be prepared or submitted to be approved by any competent authority or stock exchange in any jurisdiction (including the FCA and the London Stock Exchange) in relation to the Placing or Admission.

No prospectus, product disclosure statement or other disclosure document has been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in relation to the Placing. This Announcement does not constitute a prospectus, product disclosure statement or other disclosure document under the Corporations Act, and does not purport to include the information required for a prospectus, product disclosure statement or other disclosure document under the Corporations Act.

This Announcement has not been reviewed or approved by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong. This Announcement does not constitute an offer or invitation to the public in Hong Kong to acquire the Placing Shares.

Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement, and any Exchange Information (as defined below) published by or on behalf of the Company previously or simultaneously with this Announcement, and subject to the further terms set forth in the electronic contract note/trade confirmation to be provided to individual Placees.

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement and the publicly available information released by or on behalf of the Company are exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms to the Company and each Bank that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Company (other than the Exchange Information), any Bank, any of their respective Affiliates, any of its or their respective Representatives or any person acting on behalf of any of them. None of the Company nor any Bank nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting on behalf of any of them 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 (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons). By participating in the Placing, 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. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude or limit the liability of any person for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by that person.

Restriction on further issue of securities

As part of the Placing, the Company has undertaken to the Banks that, between the date of the Placing Agreement and the date which is 180 calendar days after the date of Admission, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Joint Global Co-ordinators, enter into certain transactions involving or relating to the Ordinary Shares, subject to certain customary carve-outs agreed between the Banks and the Company.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by the Joint Global Co-ordinators of any power to grant consent to waive the aforementioned undertaking by the Company shall be within the absolute discretion of the Joint Global Co-ordinators and that they need not make any reference to, or consultation with, Placees and that they shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise of the power to grant consent.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: CY0106002112) following Admission will take place within CREST, using the delivery versus payment mechanism, subject to certain exceptions. The Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, CREST Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares to Placees by such other means that they deem 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 the Placee's jurisdiction.

Following the close of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent an electronic contract note/trade confirmation in accordance with the standing arrangements in place with the relevant Bank stating the number of Placing Shares to be allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to the relevant Bank and settlement instructions.

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with the relevant Bank. In the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the CREST Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and the Banks may agree that the Placing Shares will be issued in certificated form.

The Company will procure the delivery of the CREST Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares to BMO in respect of the Placees procured by it (CREST Participant ID: BIMAY, Member Account ID: BMOCML), Canaccord in respect of Placees procured by (CREST Participant ID: 805, Member Account ID: 2161620), Peel Hunt in respect of Placees procured by it (CREST Participant ID: 871, Member Account ID: CORP) and Santander in respect of the Placees procured by it (CREST Participant ID: BH01, Member Account ID: 329387), in each case, as agent for the Company. The CREST Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares will be credited to the relevant CREST account by way of a Registrars Adjustment and therefore no form of receipt instruction will be required to be entered into CREST. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant CREST Depositary Interests representing Placing Shares to that Placee on a delivery against payment basis.

It is expected that settlement will be on 2 February 2026 on a T+3 basis in accordance with the instructions given to the Joint Global Co-ordinators.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two (2) percentage points above SONIA as determined by the Joint Global Co-ordinators.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Global Co-ordinators 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 Company's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and shall be required to bear any Transfer Taxes imposed in any jurisdiction 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 each Joint Global Co-ordinator all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such transaction and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which each Joint Global Co-ordinator lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that, upon receipt, the electronic contract note/trade 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 UK stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other Transfer Taxes are payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of the Placing Shares (or, for the avoidance of doubt if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), no Bank nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such amounts.

Representations and warranties

By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) irrevocably acknowledges, confirms, undertakes, represents, warrants and agrees (for itself and for any person on behalf of which it is acting) with each Bank (in its capacity as joint global co-ordinator and/or joint bookrunner and as placing agent of the Company in respect of the Placing) and the Company, in each case as a fundamental term of its application for Placing Shares, that:

No Bank nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting behalf of any of them intends to disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligation to do so; and

52.          a communication that the Placing or the book is "covered" (i.e. indicated demand from investors in the book equals or exceeds the amount of the securities being offered) is not any indication or assurance that the book will remain covered or that the Placing and securities will be fully distributed by the Banks. Each Bank reserves the right to take up a portion of the securities in the Placing as a principal position at any stage at its sole discretion, among other things, to take account of the Company's objectives, UK MiFIR and MiFID II requirements and/or its allocation policies.

The foregoing acknowledgements, confirmations, undertakings, representations, warranties and agreements are given for the benefit of each of the Company and each Bank (for their own benefit and, where relevant, the benefit of their respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives and any person acting on behalf of any of them) and are irrevocable.

Miscellaneous

The agreement to allot and issue CREST Depositary Interests representing the Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as nominee or agent) free of UK stamp duty and UK stamp duty reserve tax relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Neither the Company nor any Bank nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting on behalf of any of them will be responsible for any UK stamp duty or UK stamp duty reserve tax (including any interest, fines and penalties relating thereto) arising in relation to the Placing Shares in any other circumstances.

Such agreement is subject to the representations, warranties and further terms above and also assumes, and is based on a warranty and representation from each Placee, that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. Neither the Company nor any Bank nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of its or their respective Representatives nor any person acting on behalf of any of them is liable to bear any Transfer Taxes that arise: (i) if there are any such arrangements (or if any such arrangements arise subsequent to the subscription by Placees of Placing Shares); (ii) on a sale of Placing Shares; or (iii) otherwise than under the laws of the United Kingdom. Each 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 Transfer Taxes undertakes to pay such Transfer Taxes forthwith, and agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis and hold each Bank and/or the Company (as the case may be) and their respective Affiliates, its and their respective Representatives and any person acting on behalf of any of them harmless from any such Transfer Taxes, and all interest, fines or penalties in relation to such Transfer Taxes. Each Placee should, therefore, take its own advice as to whether any such Transfer Tax liability arises.

In this Announcement, "after-tax basis" means in relation to any payment made to the Company, any Bank, their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Announcement where the payment (or any part thereof) is chargeable to any tax, a basis such that the amount so payable shall be increased so as to ensure that after taking into account any tax chargeable (or which would be chargeable but for the availability of any relief unrelated to the loss, damage, cost, charge, expense or liability against which the indemnity is given on such amount (including on the increased amount)) there shall remain a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise have been so payable.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of each Placee acknowledges and agrees that each Bank and/or any of its Affiliates may, at their absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares. Each Placee acknowledges and is aware that each Bank is receiving a fee in connection with its role in respect of the Placing as detailed in the Placing Agreement.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with any Bank any money held in an account with such Bank on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant Bank's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the relevant Bank in the course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of that Bank.

The price of shares and any income expected from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested upon disposal of the shares.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment by the Company and the Joint Global Co-ordinators (in their absolute discretion). The Joint Global Co-ordinators shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

The rights and remedies of each Bank and the Company under the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

Time is of the essence as regards each Placee's obligations under this Appendix.

Any document that is to be sent to it in connection with the Placing will be sent at its risk and may be sent to it at any address provided by it to any Bank.

Each Placee may be asked to disclose, in writing or orally to each Bank: (a) if they are an individual, their nationality; or (b) if they are a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.
