Additional Irrevocable Undertakings to Vote in Favour of the Extension
Since the publication of the Extension EGM Circular, the Company has received additional irrevocable undertakings to vote in favor of the Extension. As a result, the Company holds as at the time of this announcement irrevocable undertakings from existing Shareholders (including the Co-Sponsors) to vote their Shares in favour of the Extension representing 29.5% of the total outstanding Shares entitled to vote at the Extension EGM.
Resignation of the Chief Financial Officer and Appointment of Acting Chief Financial Officer
After the publication of the Extension EGM Circular, and reflecting on the time commitment associated with the Extension, Ms. Carole Whittall has decided to tender her resignation from her position of Chief Financial Officer to the Company, effective 20 October 2023, to pursue other opportunities. Ms. Whittall is not a member of the Board, which remains unchanged.
Nick Box, the Company's Financial Controller, will act as Acting Chief Financial Officer until further notice.
Further announcements will be made in due course. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Extension EGM Circular.
