Update on upcoming General Meeting

On 27 July 2018 the Company announced its intention to adjourn the meeting relating to the proposed amendments to the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan and consequential amendments to the Company's other share plans (together, the Share Plans) in order to enable the Company to discuss the amendments to the Share Plans in further detail with its major shareholders.

The Company announces that such discussions have now concluded and therefore it is the Company's intention to adjourn the general meeting relating to the Share Plans for a short period only from 11.15 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. on 7 August 2018 at Exponent Private Equity LLP, 30 Broadwick Street, London, W1F 8JB (the Share Plan General Meeting).

Under Article 49 of the Company's articles of association, the Chair will open the Share Plan General Meeting and seek consent of the meeting for this adjournment. The meeting will then reconvene at 11.30 a.m., at which time the business of the meeting will proceed as originally planned.

Shareholders who have already submitted forms of proxy for the Share Plan General Meeting and who do not wish to change their voting instructions will not need to take any further action as their forms of proxy will continue to be valid in respect of the adjourned Share Plan General Meeting.

The deadline for receipt of Proxy forms, for those who cannot attend the Share Plan General meeting in person has been extended from 11.15 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. on 3 August 2018.

The date, time and place of the general meeting approving the proposed disposal of UK Platforms Limited will remain as 11.00 a.m. on 7 August 2018 at Exponent Private Equity LLP, 30 Broadwick Street, London, W1F 8JB.
