Should the changes be approved, bondholders will be issued warrants to subscribe for new Zamaz shares in an amount equal to the par value of bonds held at the time of grant of the warrants divided by the £0.11 strike price of the warrant, plus a further number of Zamaz shares at a deemed issue price of nominal value, representing a 10% conversion premium.
