The proceeds of the Open Offer will be put to good use in further expanding our brands through strategic marketing initiatives and the continued development of our sites. Consumers are increasingly looking for new ways to chill during these tough times and it is our intention to reach as many of them as possible. I look forward to providing further updates in due course."       

Admission and Total Voting Rights

The Open Offer Shares will be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and to listing in the Standard Segment of the Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA") Official List, with effect from 21 June 2022 ("Admission"). This represents a change to the indicative timetable in the Open Offer Document, and the Board and the Company have determined that the time by which Admission should take place and the Open Offer becomes unconditional is 8.00 a.m. on 21 June 2022.

On Admission, the Company will have 243,605,078 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right.  There are no shares held in treasury.  Therefore, the Company's total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights will be 243,605,078 and this figure may be used by shareholders from Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
