2.5 The Warrants are issued subject to the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles and otherwise on the terms of this Instrument which are binding upon the Company and each Warrantholder and all persons claiming through them.

 

2.6 This Instrument shall take effect from the date hereof and shall, subject to clause 3.9 below, terminate upon the earlier of (i) the exercise of the Warrants in full and (ii) the Long Stop Date.

 

3. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

 

3.1 Subject to clause 3.9, the Warrants shall be exercisable by Warrantholders at any time between the date on which the Warrants are issued and the Long Stop Date. A Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise all or any part of its holding of Warrants and, if a Warrantholder exercises part only of its holding of Warrants, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise the balance of its holding of Warrants on any one or more occasions and in any one or more parts as the Warrantholder (subject to the terms of this Instrument) determines in its discretion.

 

3.2 In order to exercise the whole or any part of its holding of Warrants, the Warrantholder must, subject to clause 3.9, deliver to the Company before the Long Stop Date a Notice of Exercise together with the relevant Certificate and the remittance in cleared funds of an amount equal to the Subscription Price multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued to the Warrantholder as a result of the exercise of the Warrants which are being exercised.

 

3.3 Once delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.2, a Notice of Exercise shall (save the consent of the Company) be irrevocable.

 

3.4 Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued on the exercise of Warrants shall be allotted and issued by the Company and, if relevant, a Certificate for the outstanding balance of Warrants that have not been exercised shall be despatched to the Warrantholder referred to in the relevant Notice of Exercise by no later than 10 Business Days after such Notice of Exercise was delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.2.

 

3.5 To the extent that Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued on the exercise of Warrants are to be held in certificated form (as indicated in the relevant Notice of Exercise), the Company shall deliver a share certificate for the Ordinary Shares so allotted to the relevant Warrantholder by no later than 10 Business Days after such Notice of Exercise was delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.2.

 

4


3.6 To the extent that Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued on the exercise of Warrants are to be held in uncertificated form through CREST (as indicated in the relevant Notice of Exercise), the Company shall procure that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited is instructed to credit to the stock account of the relevant Warrantholder entitlements to such Ordinary Shares by no later than 10 Business Days after such Notice of Exercise was delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.2.

 

3.7 Ordinary Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Warrants shall be entitled in full to all dividends and distributions declared or paid on any date, or by reference to any date, on or after the date on which the relevant Notice of Exercise was delivered to the Company in accordance with clause 3.2 and shall otherwise rank pari passu in all respects from the date of allotment with the Ordinary Shares of the Company then in issue.

 

3.8 Warrants shall be deemed to be exercised on the day upon which the Warrantholder gives to the Company a Notice of Exercise (together with the relevant Certificate and appropriate remittance of funds as required by clause 3.2).

 

3.9 If any Warrantholder is in possession of relevant inside information and is thereby precluded from exercising any Warrants or any part thereof immediately prior to the Long Stop Date, then such Warrantholder shall serve a notice to that effect on the Company on or before the Long Stop Date and provided it has done so then, in respect of such Warrantholder, the Long Stop Date shall be extended until the date which falls 10 Business Days after the later of (i) the day on which the Warrantholder ceases to be an insider (as defined in the Criminal Justice Act 1993) and (ii) the day on which the Warrantholder ceases to be an insider (as defined in section 118B of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000).

 

3.10 No Ordinary Shares shall be allotted to a person on exercise of the Warrants if such allotment and/or the issue of shares in uncertificated form and/or the delivery of the relevant share certificate would either be in contravention of the laws or rules of any overseas territory or overseas regulatory authority or would require any registration to be made in any overseas territory or overseas regulatory authority.

 

3.11 No exercise of Warrants shall result in the issue of a fraction of an Ordinary Share. Any fractional entitlements to Ordinary Shares arising as a result of an adjustment in accordance with clause 4.1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.

 

4. ADJUSTMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

 

4.1

Upon the occurrence of a reorganisation or reclassification of the share capital of the Company, a capitalisation issue (whether by way of capitalisation of reserves or of profits) or an offer by the Company of new shares by way of rights or otherwise limited to the Company’s shareholders at the time, or a sub-division, reduction or consolidation of the capital of the Company, or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another company or demerger, or the modification of rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares or a dividend in kind declared and/or made by the Company (each an “Adjustment

 

5


  Event”) after the date on which any Warrants are granted, the number of Ordinary Shares which are the subject of the Warrants and the Subscription Price payable on the exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted either in such manner as the Company and the Warrantholder(s) holding the majority of the outstanding Warrants from time to time agree in writing is appropriate or, failing agreement, in such manner as the Auditors shall certify is appropriate. If the Auditors refuse to so certify, the Company and the Warrantholder(s) shall refer the matter to an independent accountant agreed by the parties or, in absence of such agreement, to the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales. For the purposes of this clause 4.1, an adjustment to the Warrants and the Subscription Price shall be “appropriate” if, as a consequence of the adjustment, Warrantholders enjoy the same economic effect on the exercise of their Warrants as if the relevant Adjustment Event had not occurred or arisen (it being acknowledged that a change in the relative percentage of Ordinary Shares represented by the Warrants does not itself necessitate an adjustment). The Company and the Warrantholders shall endeavour to agree any adjustment pursuant to this clause 4.1 within 10 Business Days of the Adjustment Event, failing which the adjustment shall be certified by the Auditors or, where the Auditors refuse to so certify, an accountant agreed by the parties or, failing such agreement, the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales and the Company shall give notice of the adjustment (as certified by the Auditors or an accountant agreed by the parties or the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, as the case may be) to Warrantholders within 30 Business Days of the relevant Adjustment Event together with a new Certificate in respect of any additional Warrants to which Warrantholders are entitled in consequence of such adjustment. Any such additional Warrants shall confer the same rights and restrictions as are attached to the Warrants which are in issue at the date of the Adjustment Event (subject to any adjustment to the Subscription Price which is made pursuant to this clause 4.1).

 

4.2 The Company shall not implement an Adjustment Event if it would otherwise result in the Subscription Price payable per Ordinary Share on the exercise of the Warrants being less than the nominal value of an Ordinary Share.

 

5. WINDING-UP OF THE COMPANY

 

5.1 If, at any time when any Warrants are exercisable, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding-up or dissolution of the Company or if any other dissolution of the Company by operation of law is to be effected then:

 

  5.1.1 if such winding-up or dissolution is for the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement to which any Warrantholder has consented in writing, the terms of such scheme of arrangement will be binding on such Warrantholder; or

 

  5.1.2

in any other case, the Company shall forthwith notify the Warrantholder stating that such an order has been made or resolution has been passed or other dissolution is to be effected and the Warrantholder shall be entitled at any time within one month after the date such notice is published to elect by notice in

 

6


  writing to the Company to be treated as if it had, immediately before the date of the making of the order or passing of the resolution or other dissolution, exercised all of its Warrants and it shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation to the holders of Ordinary Shares, such a sum, if any, as it would have received had it been the holder of and paid for the Ordinary Shares to which it would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise, after deducting from such sum an amount equal to the amount which would have been payable by it in respect of such Ordinary Shares if it had exercised all its Warrants, but nothing contained in this clause shall have the effect of requiring the Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Company.

 

5.2 Subject to compliance with clause 5.1, the Warrants shall lapse on a dissolution or winding- up of the Company.

 

6. UNDERTAKINGS

 

6.1 The Company represents that it shall upon Admission have, and thereafter shall maintain, all necessary authorisations pursuant to the Act to enable it to lawfully and fully perform its obligations under this Instrument to allot and issue Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of all Warrants remaining exercisable from time to time.

 

6.2 Unless otherwise authorised in writing by the Warrantholder(s) holding the majority of the outstanding Warrants from time to time:

 

  6.2.1 the Company shall procure that at all times whilst any Warrants remain exercisable all Ordinary Shares in issue from time to time shall be admitted to trading, and continue to be traded, on AIM or a regulated market (as defined in the Insider Dealing (Securities and Regulated Markets Order 1994) or the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ and that any Ordinary Shares arising upon the exercise of any Warrants shall be so admitted;

 

  6.2.2 if at any time an offer is made to holders of Ordinary Shares (or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any company controlled by the offeror and/or persons acting in concert with the offeror) to acquire the whole or any part of the Ordinary Share capital of the Company, Company will as soon as possible give notice of such offer to the Warrantholders and use its best endeavours to procure that a full and adequate opportunity is given to the Warrantholders to exercise the Warrants and that a like offer, being one pari passu with the best terms offered to holders of Ordinary Shares, is extended in respect of any Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants. The publication of a scheme of arrangement under sections 895 to 899 of the Act providing for the acquisition by any person of the whole or any part of the Ordinary Share capital of the Company shall be deemed to be the making of an offer for the purposes of this clause 6.3 and references herein to such an offer shall be read and construed accordingly;

 

7


  6.2.3 if at any time an offer or invitation is made by the Company to the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purchase by the Company of any of the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall simultaneously give notice thereof to the Warrantholders who shall be entitled, at any time while such offer or invitation is open for acceptance, to exercise their Warrants on the terms (subject to any adjustments pursuant to clause 4.1 above) on which the same could have been exercised and as if the same had been exercised on the day immediately preceding the record date for such offer or invitation; and

 

  6.2.4 the Company shall supply to the Warrantholders copies of all notices of meetings, annual reports and accounts and all documents required by law to be annexed thereto and all statements, circulars and other communications to its shareholders at the same time as they are despatched to its shareholders.

 

7. MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

 

     All or any of the rights for the time being attached to the Warrants may from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be altered or amended with the prior sanction of a Special Resolution or Written Resolution (in accordance with clause 8.2) of the Warrantholders and the agreement of the Company.

 

8. MEETINGS

 

8.1 All the provisions of the Articles for the time being of the Company relating to General Meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis as though the Warrants were a class of shares forming part of the capital of the Company except that:

Whenever there is only one holder of Warrants, a quorum at any meeting of Warrantholders shall, for all purposes, be that Warrantholder or any proxy for that Warrantholder;

 

  8.1.2 every Warrantholder present in person at any such meeting shall be entitled on a show of hands to one vote and every Warrantholder present in person or by proxy shall be entitled on a poll to one vote for every Ordinary Share for which he is entitled to subscribe pursuant to the Warrants held by him; and

 

  8.1.3 any Warrantholder present (in person or by proxy) may demand or join m demanding a poll.

 

8.2

A resolution in writing signed by Warrantholders entitled to subscribe for not less than 75 per cent. in nominal amount of the Ordinary Shares attributable to the outstanding Warrants (a “Written Resolution”) shall for all purposes be as valid and effectual as an

 

8


  Ordinary Resolution or a Special Resolution passed at any General Meeting as provided for under clause 8.1. Such Written Resolution may be contained in one or more documents in like form each signed by one or more of the Warrantholders.

 

9. REGISTER
