This announcement may contain forward-looking statements, which relate, inter alia, to the Group's proposed strategy, plans and objectives. Forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by the use of terminology such as (but not limited to) "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "could", "shall", "risk", "intends", "estimates", "aims", "plans", "predicts", "continues", "assumes", "positions" or "anticipates" or the negatives thereof, other variations thereon or comparable terminology. By its very nature, such forward-looking information requires the Company to make assumptions that may or may not materialise. Such forward-looking statements may be price-sensitive and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors beyond the control of the Company that could cause the actual performance or achievements of the Group to be materially different from such forward-looking statements. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and, in particular, past performance of the Group cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. Accordingly, you should not rely on any forward-looking statements and the Company accepts no obligation to disseminate any updates or revisions to such forward-looking statements. No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share for the current or future financial periods would necessarily match or exceed historical published earnings per share. As a result, you are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Neither the Company nor anyone else is under any obligation to update or keep current the information contained in this announcement. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is given by or on behalf of the Company, Deutsche Numis or any of their directors, officers, partners, employees, advisers, agents, affiliates, representatives or any other persons as to the accuracy, fairness, completeness, verification or sufficiency of the information or opinions contained in this announcement or for any other statement made or purported to be made by them, or on their behalf, in connection with the Company, the Shares or the Transaction and nothing in the announcement will be relied upon as a promise or representation in this respect, whether as to the past or future.

The information in this announcement is subject to change. Before purchasing any Shares, persons viewing this announcement should ensure that they fully understand and accept the risks which will be set out in the Prospectus, if published.
