AD Share Schedule

Background

On 26 October 2020 the holders of Ordinary Shares in the Company were sent a circular setting out, amongst other things, details of a Return of Capital proposed to be completed by the Company and notice of the General Meeting of the Company to be held on 19 November 2020 ("Circular").

To effect the Return of Capital, Shareholders are asked to approve the creation of AD Shares with a par value of 3 . 8pence each and Deferred Shares of a corresponding par value.

This AD Share Schedule sets out the rights and restrictions that will attach to such AD Shares and Deferred Shares if Shareholders approve the Return of Capital and pass the Resolution set out in the Circular at the General Meeting (or at any adjournment thereof).

Definitions used in this AD Share Schedule but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in Company's bye-laws (the "Bye-laws") or, if not defined in the Bye-laws, in the Circular.

References to a paragraph are to paragraphs in this AD Share Schedule. References to a Bye-law are to bye-laws in the Bye-laws.
