The Issuer hereby also notifies Bondholders of its election (this notice being the "Purchase Election Notice") that such cash amount shall not be added to the Exchange Property and instead a number of Shaftesbury Shares to be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Conditions shall be added to the Exchange Property, pursuant to Condition 8(e).

The adjustment to the Exchange Property arising as a result of such payment is expected to be effective on 6 January 2023, in accordance with the Conditions.

A further notice to Bondholders will be issued on or about 6 January 2023, stating the number of Shaftesbury Shares which have been added to the Exchange Property, the total number of Shaftesbury Shares comprising the Exchange Property as a result thereof and the resulting Exchange Property per Bond.
