Statement re share price movement

The Company notes today's rise in the share price. Whilst the Board does not wish to speculate on the reasons for such price rise, it wishes to confirm that today's announcement regarding the conversion of certain convertible loan notes into preference shares should not be taken as any indication that the Board has revised its opinion that the outcome for ordinary shareholders is expected to be a zero return. The Board confirms that there has been no change to the rights attaching to each of the loan notes and the class of shares into which they have been converted In particular, preference shares continue to rank ahead of ordinary shares on a winding up of the Company.

The Board also confirms that, in accordance with its duties to have regard to the interests of all stakeholders including creditors, it continues to develop contingency plans (mindful of the need to protect the interests of customers) should shareholders fail to approve the proposal described in its announcement of 10 April 2018 and review its strategic options, and in particular to develop alternative proposals, but does not expect any outcome to result in a positive return to shareholders.
