    EBT has subscribed for 1,267,327 new Ordinary Shares in order to satisfy the
    LTIP Awards (and awards made to other participants in the LTIP scheme) (the "

    Listing Authority and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares
    to be admitted to trading on its Main Market for listed securities, with
    dealings in the New Ordinary Shares expected to commence on or around 29
    September 2016.

    effect and Executive Chairman Richard Huntingford has agreed to step down with

    Exchange. Wireless notes the announcement by News Corp UK & Ireland Limited on
