  1. The number of common shares in issue on 19 December 2020 was 136,980,903. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.
  2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.
  3. Passed as a special resolution.

Accordingly, the Placing Shares have now been allotted subject only to Admission. Applications have been made to the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and London Stock Exchange plc (the "LSE") respectively for the Placing Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the LSE (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 22 December 2020. Upon Admission the Placing will complete and the Sukari Contract will become unconditional.

Following the issue and allotment of the Placing Shares, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 188,780,903 Common Shares of USD0.0001 each. The Company does not hold any Common Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will, following Admission, be 188,780,903. From Admission, this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.

Any capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings set out in the Circular.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of the Resolutions passed at the General Meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism where it will shortly be available at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. This announcement will also be available on the Company's website at www.capdrill.com/investors.
