Rule 2.9 Announcement
In accordance with Rule 2.9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), the Company confirms that as at the date of this announcement, it had in issue 789,139,807 ordinary shares of £0.01 each with ISIN number GB00BNDRMJ14. The Company holds no shares in treasury. The total number of shares attracting voting rights in the Company is therefore 789,139,807.
On 28 September 2024, the Company issued 20,571,995 warrants, convertible into an aggregate of 20,571,995 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the Company to a leading North American hyperscaler. The warrants remain outstanding and will expire on 28 September 2031 (extended to 28 September 2034 in the event of a delisting of the Company). The initial exercise price of the warrants was GBP1.4236, subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive corporate actions undertaken by the Company, including issuances or ordinary shares or convertible securities, or any split, subdivision or reclassification of its ordinary shares. The warrants are transferable but are certificated and are not exchange traded instruments.
On 18 December 2024, the Company issued US$150 million senior unsecured convertible bonds due 1 March 2030. The convertible bonds are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of US$1.9423 per ordinary share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive corporate actions and time-based adjustment in the event of a change of control of the Company. If all of the convertible bonds were to be converted to ordinary shares at the unadjusted conversion price, it would result in a further 77,228,028 ordinary shares being issued. The International Securities Identification Number for the convertible bonds is XS2962835257.
