The Prospectus will not, subject to certain exceptions, be available (whether through the website or otherwise) to shareholders in any jurisdiction in which release, publication or distribution of the Prospectus would be unlawful.
Neither the content of the Company's website nor any website accessible by hyperlinks on the Company's website is incorporated in, or forms part of, this announcement. The Prospectus gives further details of the New Informa Shares.
