This announcement does not constitute or form part of an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for, New Ordinary Shares to any person in the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland or South Africa or in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful and, in particular, is not for release, publication or distribution in or into the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland or South Africa.

 

This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States, and is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States of America.  The securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act.  No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.

The New Ordinary Shares are only suitable for investors who understand the potential risk of capital loss and that there may be limited liquidity in the underlying investments of the Company and in the New Ordinary Shares, for whom an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is part of a diversified investment programme and who fully understand and are willing to assume the risks involved in such an investment programme. There is no guarantee that the Capital Raise will proceed and that Admission will occur and you should not base your financial decisions on the Company's intention in relation to the Admission and Capital Raise at this stage. Acquiring New Ordinary Shares to which this announcement relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all of the amount invested. When considering what further action you should take you are recommended to immediately consult, if you are resident in Ireland, an organisation or firm authorised or exempted pursuant to the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007 (Nos. 1 to 3) or the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 (as amended) and, if you are resident in the United Kingdom, a person authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended, or another appropriately authorised professional adviser if you are in a territory outside Ireland or the United Kingdom. This announcement does not constitute a recommendation concerning the Capital Raise. The price and value of the New Ordinary Shares may decrease as well as increase. Information in this announcement, past performance and any documents relating to the Capital Raise or Admission cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. Potential investors should consult a professional advisor as to the suitability of the Capital Raise for the person concerned.
