• holders of Newco Ordinary Shares on the register of members of NEX at the Newco Reduction of Capital Record Time, being 6:00 p.m. on 29 December 2016, will therefore receive approximately 0.467 New Tullett Prebon Shares for each Newco Ordinary Share held.

The board of NEX further confirms that, in connection with the Share Consolidation and following the Newco Reduction of Capital becoming effective, every 7 Newco Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each on the register of members NEX at the Newco Reduction of Capital Record Time will be consolidated into 4 Newco Ordinary Share of 17.5 pence each (the 'Consolidation Shares').
