DIGITAL 9 INFRASTRUCTURE PLC

("DGI9", the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Portfolio Update

Proposed Placing and Offer for Subscription of Ordinary Shares

Portfolio Update

·    As announced separately today, DGI9 has now completed (subject only to the usual regulatory approvals) the acquisition of a majority economic stake in Arqiva Group Limited for a total consideration of £459.3 million (comprising c.£300 million from DGI9's cash and debt facilities, and £159.3 million of non-recourse vendor loan notes) (the "Acquisition").

·    With the acquisitions to date, the DGI9 portfolio delivers pro forma EBITDA of £211 million and portfolio level Operating Cash Flow of £85 million, which is significantly in excess of the dividend target for the year ending 31 December 2022.

·  The DGI9 portfolio now comprises eight independent, complementary digital infrastructure platform investments, across data centres, fibre connectivity, wireless, and Internet of Things, all in developed countries, benefitting from long term GBP, EUR or USD cashflows and providing some of the best in class ESG credentials in the sector.

·  DGI9 benefits from a near-term pipeline of approximately £510 million, with a total pipeline of approximately £2.4 billion.

Issue Highlights

DGI9 today announces the launch of a proposed placing and offer for subscription of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") (the "Placing" and the "Offer for Subscription", together the "Issue") at a price per Ordinary Share to be determined by way of an accelerated bookbuild process (the "Strike Price") but being no less than 110 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Floor Price").

·   The Issue is being conducted under the Company's existing non pre-emptive authorities as authorised by shareholders on 7 March 2021¹.

·    The net proceeds of the Issue will be used to partly fund the Acquisition and hence partly release the Group's otherwise fully committed Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF"), as well as for working capital purposes.

·    The Issue will also be used to invest further capital into the Group's existing subsea fibre, Nordic data centre and edge data centre platforms to fund the expansion of capacity and to finance future acquisitions from a near-term pipeline of approximately £510 million.

·    To bid in the bookbuild, investors should communicate their bid to their usual sales contact at J.P. Morgan Cazenove. Each bid should state the number of New Ordinary Shares for which the prospective investor wishes to subscribe and the price that the prospective investor is offering to pay; any bid price must be for a full pence or half pence amount.

·    The number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued and the Strike Price will be agreed between J.P. Morgan Cazenove and the Company following close of the Placing at noon on 7 July 2022.

·     The Floor Price of 110 pence per New Ordinary Share represents a discount of 3.0 per cent. to the closing price of 113.4 pence per Ordinary Share on 24 June 2022 (being the date immediately prior to the announcement of the Placing) and a 5.1 per cent. premium to the 31 December 2021 NAV of 104.62 pence.

·   The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), including the right to receive dividends and distributions declared after admission of the New Ordinary Shares. In particular, the New Ordinary Shares will have the right to receive the next dividend to be paid in September (but not the 1.5p dividend to be paid on or around 30 June 2022).

Proposed Placing

The Placing will be launched immediately following release of this announcement by J.P. Morgan Securities plc, which conducts its UK investment banking activities as J.P. Morgan Cazenove ("J.P.

Information to distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("Directive 2014/65/EU"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing Directive 2014/65/EU; (c) local implementing measures; and/or (d) (where applicable to UK investors or UK firms) the relevant provisions of the UK statutory instruments implementing Directive 2014/65/EU and Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593, Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament, which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (together, the "UK MiFID Laws") (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and the Offer for Subscription are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors who understand, or have been advised of, the potential risk of investing in companies admitted to the Specialist Fund Segment and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU or the UK MiFID Laws (as applicable); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by Directive 2014/65/EU or the UK MiFID Laws, as applicable (the "Target Market Assessment").

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: (a) the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; (b) the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; (c) an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom; and (d) the New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to the Specialist Fund Segment, which is intended for institutional, professional, professionally advised and knowledgeable investors who understand, or who have been advised of, the potential risk from investing in companies admitted to the Specialist Fund Segment.

Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, J.P. Morgan Cazenove will only procure investors in the Placing who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU or the UK MiFID Laws, as applicable; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

Each distributor (including any intermediary) is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

4.5       J.P. Morgan Cazenove will re-contact and confirm orally to Applicants the size of their respective allocations and a trade confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter.  J.P. Morgan Cazenove's oral confirmation of the size of allocations and each Applicant's oral commitment to accept the same or such lesser number as determined in accordance with paragraph 4.4 below will constitute a legally binding agreement pursuant to which each such Applicant will be required to accept the number of New Ordinary Shares allocated to the Applicant at the Strike Price in accordance with paragraph 2.1 above and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Appendix.

4.6        The Company (after consultation with the Banks and the Investment Manager) reserves the right to scale back the number of New Ordinary Shares to be subscribed by any Applicant in the event of an oversubscription in the Placing. The Company and J.P. Morgan Cazenove also reserve the right not to accept offers to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole. J.P. Morgan Cazenove shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such method as it shall in its sole discretion determine. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither J.P. Morgan Cazenove, nor any holding company of J.P. Morgan Cazenove, nor any subsidiary, branch or affiliate of J.P. Morgan Cazenove (each an "Affiliate") nor any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing shall have any liability to Applicants (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of an Applicant or otherwise). In particular, neither J.P. Morgan Cazenove, nor any Affiliate thereof nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any liability to Applicants in respect of their conduct of the Placing.  No commissions will be paid to Applicants or directly by Applicants in respect of the New Ordinary Shares.  Under the terms of the Placing Agreement the Company shall pay each of J.P. Morgan Cazenove and Akur a commission equal to a proportion of the gross proceeds raised from Applicants that have been procured by J.P. Morgan Cazenove.

Morgan Cazenove, to pay to J.P. Morgan Cazenove (or as J.P. Morgan Cazenove may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Strike Price and the number of New Ordinary Shares which such Applicant has agreed to acquire under the Placing.  Commitments under the Placing, once made, cannot be withdrawn without the consent of the Directors. The Company shall allot such New Ordinary Shares to each Applicant (or to J.P. Morgan Cazenove for onward transmission to the relevant Applicant) following each Applicant's payment to J.P. Morgan Cazenove of such amount.

4.8     Each Applicant agrees to indemnify on demand and hold each of the Banks, the Company and the Investment Manager and its and their respective Affiliates harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of the acknowledgements, undertakings, representations, warranties and agreements set forth in these terms and conditions as supplemented by any Placing Letter.

5.2     If the Placing does not become unconditional, the Placing will lapse and each Applicant's rights and obligations under the Placing shall cease and determine at such time and no claim may be made by an Applicant in respect thereof. Neither J.P. Morgan Cazenove nor Akur shall have any liability to any Applicant (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of an Applicant or otherwise) in respect of any decision it may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition relating to the Placing in the Placing Agreement.

Morgan Cazenove or the Investment Manager nor any other person will be liable for any Applicant's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Applicant may have obtained or received.  Each Applicant 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, and confirms that it has understood the risks of investing in the Company and acquiring New Ordinary Shares and has read the risk factors detailed in the Company's latest annual report and financial statements, in the Company's most recently published prospectus and in the Article 23 pre-investment disclosure document, each of which are available on the Company's website www.d9infrastructure.com.   Each Applicant also acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review and access the information on the Company's ongoing charges detailed in the Regulatory Information.

1.5       The Application Form referred to in these Terms and conditions is available from the Company's website www.d9infrastructure.com.

2.           Invitation to make an offer to acquire New Ordinary Shares

(b)       acknowledge that the Company is conducting an accelerated bookbuild process which will establish a single Strike Price per New Ordinary Share payable by each applicant in the Offer for Subscription. The exact Strike Price will not be known until 7 July 2022 once the bookbuild process has completed, but in any event the Strike  Price shall be no less than 110 pence per Ordinary Share;

(c)        agree that the Offer for Subscription is governed by the terms, and subject to the conditions, set out in this Appendix 2 and the Company's Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association (the "Articles");

(d)       agree you will be issued such number of New Ordinary Shares on Admission as is equal to the product of your Advanced Subscription Value divided by the Strike Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the aggregate value of such whole number of New Ordinary Shares (based on the Strike Price) being the "Aggregate Subscription Value");

(e)      agree that the difference between the Advanced Subscription Value and the Aggregate Subscription Value (if any, but never being more than the Strike Price) shall be gifted to charity on your behalf (as determined by the Company);

(f)       agree that, in consideration of the Company agreeing that it will not, prior to the date of Admission, invite or make offers for subscription of such New Ordinary Shares to any person other than by means of the procedures referred to in this Appendix 2, your offer to subscribe may not be revoked, and if such offer is accepted by the Company, this paragraph shall constitute a collateral contract between you and the Company which will become binding on you upon despatch by post to, or in the case of delivery by hand on receipt by the Receiving Agent of, your Application Form (and which will become binding on the Company upon its acceptance of your offer to subscribe);

(g)        undertake to pay the aggregate Strike Price for the number of New Ordinary Shares specified in your Application Form (should the Company accept your offer to subscribe), and warrant that the remittance accompanying your Application Form, will be honoured on first presentation and agree that if such remittance is not so honoured you will not be entitled to receive the share certificates for the New Ordinary Shares applied for in certificated form or be entitled to commence dealing in the New Ordinary Shares applied for in uncertificated form or to enjoy or receive any rights in respect of such New Ordinary Shares unless and until you make payment in cleared funds for such New Ordinary Shares and such payment is accepted by the Receiving Agent (which acceptance shall be in its absolute discretion and on the basis that you indemnify the Receiving Agent and the Company against all costs, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities arising out of, or in connection with, the failure of your remittance to be honoured on first presentation) and the Company may (without prejudice to any other rights it may have) void the agreement to allot the New Ordinary Shares and may allot them to some other person, in which case you will not be entitled to any refund or payment in respect thereof (other than the refund in the same manner you made your original investment, at your risk, for an amount equal to the proceeds of the remittance which accompanied your Application Form, net of any applicable banking charges and without interest);

(h)       acknowledge that the Company reserves the right not to accept your offer to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares, or to accept such offers in part rather than in whole, in which case your application monies to the extent of the unaccepted offer (partially or wholly), will be returned to you in the same manner you made your original payment net of any applicable banking charges, without interest and at your risk;

(i)       agree that where on your Application Form a request is made for New Ordinary Shares to be deposited into a CREST Account, your Application Form must be completed and signed by the named CREST holder and not by any underlying beneficial holder and the Receiving Agent may in its absolute discretion amend the form so that such New Ordinary Shares may be issued in certificated form registered in the name(s) of the holders specified in your Application Form (and recognise that the Receiving Agent will so amend the form if there is any delay in satisfying the identity of the applicant or the owner of the CREST Account or in receiving your remittance in cleared funds);

(j)      agree, in respect of applications for New Ordinary Shares in certificated form (or where the Receiving Agent exercises its discretion pursuant to paragraph 2.1(h) above to issue New Ordinary Shares in certificated form), that any share certificate to which you or, in the case of joint applicants, any of the persons specified by you in your Application Form may become entitled (and any monies returnable to you) may be retained by the Receiving Agent in a non-interest bearing account maintained by the Receiving Agent:

(i)          pending clearance of your remittance;

(ii)         pending investigation of any suspected breach of the warranties contained in paragraph 6 below or any other suspected breach of this Appendix 2;

(k)        agree, on the request of the Receiving Agent, to disclose promptly in writing to it such information as the Receiving Agent may request in connection with your application and authorise the Receiving Agent to disclose any information relating to your application which it may consider appropriate;

(l)      agree that, if evidence of identity satisfactory to the Receiving Agent is not provided to the Receiving Agent within a reasonable time (in the opinion of the Company) following a request therefor, the Company or the Receiving Agent may terminate any agreement made with you to allot New Ordinary Shares and, in such case, the New Ordinary Shares which would otherwise have been allotted to you may be re-allotted or sold to some other party and the lesser of your application monies or such proceeds of sale (as the case may be, with the proceeds of any gain derived from a sale accruing to the Company) will be returned to you in the same manner you made your original investment net of any applicable banking charges, without interest and at your risk;

(m)     agree that you are not applying on behalf of a person engaged in money laundering, drug trafficking or terrorism;

(n)      undertake to ensure that, in the case of an Application Form signed by someone else on your behalf, the original of the relevant power of attorney (or a complete copy certified by a solicitor or notary) is enclosed with your Application Form together with full identity documents for the person so signing;

(o)    undertake to pay interest at the rate described in paragraph 3.3 below if the remittance accompanying your Application Form is not honoured on first presentation; and

(p)        authorise the Receiving Agent to procure that there be sent to you definitive certificates in respect of the number of New Ordinary Shares for which your application is accepted or if you have completed Box 3 on your Application Form, but subject to paragraph 2.1(i) above, to deliver the number of New Ordinary Shares for which your application is accepted into CREST, and/or to return any monies returnable  in the same manner you made your original investment without interest and at your risk;

2.2        confirm that you have read and complied with paragraph 8 of this Appendix 2;

2.3      agree that all subscription payments by cheque and electronic CHAPS bank transfers will be processed through the following two bank accounts (the Acceptance Account) opened with the Receiving Agent;

Applicants will be provided with a unique reference number which must be used when making the payment; and

2.4        agree that your Application Form is addressed to the Receiving Agent acting as agent for the Company. Any application may be rejected in whole or in part at the sole discretion of the Company.

3.            Acceptance of your offer for subscription

3.1        The Receiving Agent may, on behalf of the Company, accept your offer to subscribe (if your application is received, valid (or treated as valid), processed and not rejected).

3.2         The right is reserved notwithstanding the basis as so determined to reject in whole or in part and/or scale back any application. The right is reserved to treat as valid any offer to subscribe not complying fully with this Appendix 2 or not in all respects completed or delivered in accordance with the instructions accompanying the Application Form. In particular, but without limitation, the Company may accept an offer to subscribe made otherwise than by completion of an Application Form where you have agreed with the Company in some other manner to apply in accordance with this Appendix 2. The Company and Receiving Agent reserve the right (but shall not be obliged) to accept Application Forms and accompanying remittances which are received otherwise than in accordance with this Appendix 2.

3.3       The Receiving Agent will present all cheques and bankers' drafts for payment on receipt and will retain documents of title and surplus monies pending clearance of successful applicants' payment. The Receiving Agent may, as agent of the Company, require you to pay interest or its other resulting costs (or both) if the payment accompanying your application is not honoured on first presentation. If you are required to pay interest you will be obliged to pay the amount determined by the Receiving Agent, to be the interest on the amount of the payment from the date on which all payments in cleared funds are due to be received until the date of receipt of cleared funds. The rate of interest will be the then published bank base rate of a clearing bank selected by the Receiving Agent plus 2 per cent. per annum. The right is also reserved to reject in whole or in part, or to scale down or limit, any application. Applications accompanied by a post-dated cheque will not be accepted.

3.4      The Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion (but shall not be obliged) to accept offers to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares for an Aggregate Subscription Value of less than £1,000.

4.            Conditions

The contracts created by the Company's acceptance of offers to subscribe (in whole or in part) under the Offer for Subscription will be conditional upon, inter alia:

(a)    Admission occurring and becoming effective by 8.00 a.m. on the date indicated in this Announcement (or such later time and/or date as the Company and the Banks may agree), not being later than 12 July 2022; and

(b)        the placing agreement between the Company, the Investment Manager and the Banks dated 27 June (the "Placing Agreement") becoming otherwise unconditional in all respects, as applicable, (save as to the Admission of the New Ordinary Shares) and not having been terminated on or before Admission.

5.            Return of Application Monies

Where application monies have been banked and/or received, if any offer to subscribe is not accepted in whole, or is accepted in part only, or if any contract created by the Company's acceptance does not become unconditional, the application monies or, as the case may be, the balance of the amount paid on application will be returned without interest and after the deduction of any applicable bank charges by crossed cheque in your favour, by post at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto or back to the bank where the funds originated from if payment is made by electronic transfer.

6.20       warrant that the information contained in your Application Form is true and accurate.

7.           Money Laundering

7.1      You agree that, in order to ensure compliance with the UK Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (SI 2017/692) as amended and supplemented from time to time including by the Money Laundering and Transfer of Funds (Information) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 in force in the United Kingdom (the "UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017"), the Receiving Agent may respectively at their absolute discretion require verification of identity from any person lodging an Application Form. Submission of an Application Form with the appropriate remittance will constitute a warranty to each of the Company and the Receiving Agent from the applicant that the UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017 will not be breached by application of such remittance. While the Receiving Agent may carry out anti-money laundering checks on any application, they are usually only performed when dealing with applications for shares that are requested to be registered in certificated form outside of CREST, regardless of value.

7.2         In other cases the verification of identity requirements may apply.

7.3        The Receiving Agent may undertake electronic searches for the purposes of verifying your identity. To do so the Receiving Agent may verify the details against your identity, but may also request further proof of your identity. The Receiving Agent reserves the right to withhold any entitlement (including any refund cheque) until such verification of identity is completed to its satisfaction.

7.4         Except as provided in paragraphs 7.5 and 7.6 below, payments must be made by cheque or banker's draft in Sterling drawn on a United Kingdom branch of a bank or building society. Cheques, which must be drawn on your personal account where you have sole or joint title to the funds, should be made payable to "CIS PLC re: DIGITAL 9 OFS a/c". Third party cheques may not be accepted with the exception of building society cheques or bankers ' drafts where the building society or bank has confirmed the name of the account holder by stamping or endorsing the back of the cheque/banker ' s draft by following the instructions in paragraph 7.9 below. The name on the bank account must be the same as that stated on the Application Form.

7.5       For applicants sending subscription monies by electronic bank transfer (CHAPs), payment must be made for value by 11.00 a.m. on 6 July 2022. Applicants wishing to make a CHAPs payment should contact Computershare Investor Services PLC stating "DIGITAL 9 OFS 2022" by email at [email protected] for full bank details or telephone the shareholder helpline on 0370 707 4040 or on +44 370 707 4040 (if calling from outside the UK) for further information. Applicants will be provided with a unique reference number which must be used when making the payment. Electronic payments must come from a UK bank account and from a personal account in the name of the individual applicant where they have sole or joint title to the funds. The account name should be the same as that inserted in Box 2 of the Application Form and payments must relate solely to your application. You should tick the relevant payment method box in section 1. It is recommended that such transfers are actioned within 24 hours of posting your application.

7.6     Evidence of the source of funds may also be required by the Receiving Agent if requested by them. Typically, this will be a copy of the remitting bank account statement clearly identifying the applicant's name, the value of the debit (equal to the application value) and the crediting account details or application reference.

7.7        Any delay in providing monies may affect acceptance of the application. If the Receiving Agent is unable to match your application with a bank payment, there is a risk that your application could be delayed or will not be treated as a valid application and may be rejected by the Company and/or the Receiving Agent. Please note that you should check with your bank regarding any limits imposed on the level and timing of transfers allowed from your account (for example, some banks apply a maximum transaction or daily limit, and you may need to make the transfer as more than one payment). The Receiving Agent cannot take responsibility for correctly identifying payments without a unique reference nor where a payment has been received but without an accompanying Application Form.

7.8        Applicants making an offer to the Company under the Offer for Subscription who wish to have their shares credited to their nominated CREST account, must settle their investment on a DVP basis only and the named CREST holder and not any underlying beneficial holder will still need to complete and submit a valid Application Form to be received by no later than 11.00 a.m. on 6 July 2022 (being the "Closing Date") allowing for the delivery and acceptance of New Ordinary Shares to be made against payment of the Strike Price per New Ordinary Share, following the CREST matching criteria set out in the Application Form. You should tick the relevant box in section 1 of the Application Form.

7.9         Applicants making an offer to the Company under the Offer for Subscription will also need to ensure that their settlement instructions are input to the Receiving Agent's account 8RA20 by no later than 1.00 p.m. on 11 July 2022. Please note that the Receiving Agent will not take any action until a valid DEL message has been alleged to the Participant account by the applicant/custodian. No acknowledgement of receipt or input will be provided.

7.10      Applicants making an offer to the Company under the Offer for Subscription should also ensure that their agent/custodian has a sufficient "debit cap" within the CREST system to facilitate settlement in addition to their usual daily trading and settlement requirements. In the event of late/non-settlement, the Company reserves the right to deliver shares outside of CREST in certificated form provided that payment has been made in terms satisfactory to the Company and all other conditions of the Offer for Subscription have been satisfied. If you require a share certificate you should not use this facility.

7.11     Where you appear to the Receiving Agent to be acting on behalf of some other person certifications of identity of any persons on whose behalf you appear to be acting may be required.

7.12      Failure to provide the necessary evidence of identity may result in application(s) being rejected or delays in the despatch of documents.

7.13   In all circumstances, for investments that will be registered in certificated form outside of CREST, verification of the identity of applicants will be required. If you use a building society cheque, banker's draft or money order you should ensure that the bank or building society enters the name, address and account number of the person whose account is being debited on the reverse of the cheque, banker's draft or money order and adds its stamp. The name on the bank account must be the same as that stated on the Application Form.

8.           Overseas Investors

The invitation to make an offer to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares under the Offer for Subscription is only being made to persons who are resident in the United Kingdom.  The attention of potential investors who are not resident in, or who are not citizens of, the United Kingdom is drawn to paragraphs 8.1 to 8.5 below:

8.1       Residents of countries other than the United Kingdom are not eligible (and thus not invited)  to participate in the Offer for Subscription.

8.2         Residents of the United Kingdom who are citizens of countries other than the United Kingdom ("Overseas Investors") may be affected by the law of the relevant jurisdictions. Such persons should consult their professional advisers as to whether they require any government or other consents or need to observe any applicable legal requirements to enable them to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares under the Offer for Subscription.

8.3       No person receiving a copy of this Announcement (including this Appendix 2) in any territory other than the United Kingdom may treat the same as constituting an offer or invitation to him.

8.4        Persons (including, without limitation, nominees and trustees) receiving this Announcement (including this Appendix 2) should not distribute or send it to any U.S. Person or in or into the United States, Canada, any member state of the EEA, Japan, Australia, the Republic of South Africa, their respective territories or possessions or any other jurisdiction where to do so would or might contravene local securities laws or regulations.
