WARRANT ISSUE AND SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

Subscription Rights

Entitlement to all rights attaching to the Warrants shall be evidenced by the issue to a Warrantholder of a Certificate. One Certificate shall be issued to each Warrantholder for all of the Warrants registered in its/her/his name.

 

2.3

Adjustment Event

3.

EXERCISING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

 

3.1

Timing

Subject to Clause 3.5, each of the Warrantholders may at any time, and from time to time after the issuance of the relevant Warrants, including at any time before but conditional upon the occurrence of an Event, provided that an exercise of Subscription Rights which is conditional upon the occurrence of an Event shall be deemed to take effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the relevant Event, exercise their Subscription Rights in whole or part, by delivering to the Company a notice substantially in the form contained in the Certificate (“Notice of Subscription”) together with:

 

  (a)

the Certificate for the Warrants in respect of which Subscription Rights are being exercised; and

 

  (b)

a payment by telegraphic transfer to the Company’s Account (or such other mode of payment as the Company and the Warrantholder shall agree) of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of the Subscription Rights which are being exercised.

 

3.2

On any exercise of the Warrantholder’s Subscription Rights, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Subscription Price in the manner specified in Clause 3.1(b) above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of this Clause 3, the Warrantholder may elect to receive, and the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder such number of Warrant Shares as are computed using the following formula (a “Net Exercise”):

X = Y * (A-B) / A

where

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrantholder;

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Warrant Shares sold by the Company (on behalf of the relevant Warrantholder) in payment of the aggregate Subscription Price or, following a Net Exercise contemplated by Clause 5.3);

A = the Fair Market Value of one Common Share as of the Exercise Date; and

B = the Subscription Price.

To give effect to the above provisions, the Warrantholder authorises the Company to sell such number of Warrant Shares as it indicates to fund in part the balance of the Subscription Price for the Warrant Shares the Warrantholder wishes to subscribe for. The provisions of this Clause 3.2 shall only apply after Admission or as contemplated by Clause 5.3.

 

3.3

For the avoidance of doubt, where part only of a Warrantholder’s total Subscription Rights are exercised, the Company shall update the Register to record the remaining Subscription Rights in respect of such Warrantholder following the partial exercise of its Subscription Rights and shall issue to such Warrantholder an updated Certificate confirming the remaining Subscription Rights in respect of which it is recorded in the Register as the holder on the terms set out in this Warrant Instrument.

 

3.4

Irrevocable Election

Delivery of the items specified in Clause 3.1 to the Company shall, other than with the Company’s written consent, be an irrevocable election by the relevant Warrantholder to exercise the relevant Subscription Rights.

 

10


3.5

Lapse

All Subscription Rights not exercised shall lapse on the date falling ten years from the date of this Warrant Instrument (the “Termination Date”).

 

4.

ISSUE OF SHARES UPON EXERCISE OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

 

4.1

Allotment and Issue

Following receipt of a validly completed, signed and dated Notice of Subscription, the Company shall:

 

  (a)

within ten (10) Business Days after the Exercise Date, resolve to allot and issue to the person(s) identified in the relevant Notice of Subscription (“Allottee(s)”) the Warrant Shares validly specified in the Notice of Subscription and to enter the Allottee(s)’ name in the register of members of the Company as the holder of the Warrant Shares issued to such Allottee(s); and

 

  (b)

within ten (10) Business Days of the allotment and issue of the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Clause 4 (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”), at the Company’s cost, send to the address stipulated in the Notice of Subscription share certificate(s) in respect of the Warrant Shares issued and (in the event of a partial exercise by any Warrantholder) a balancing Certificate in respect of those Subscription Rights which remain unexercised.

 

4.2

Rights attaching to Warrant Shares

The Warrant Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of the Subscription Rights shall:

 

  (a)

be allotted and issued fully paid;

 

  (b)

rank pari passu with the fully paid Common Shares then in issue and have the rights set out in the Articles relating to the Common Shares; and

 

  (c)

subject to the Articles, be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution which has previously been announced or declared provided that the record date by which the holder of Warrant Shares must be registered to participate in such dividend or other distribution is after the date on which the Warrant Shares are allotted and issued.

 

4.3

Rounding

If the number of Warrant Shares falling to be allocated to a Warrantholder (or at its direction) on an exercise of Subscription Rights would otherwise require a fraction of a Warrant Share to be allotted, the number of Warrant Shares to be so allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Warrant Shares.

 

5.

RESTRICTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY

 

5.1

Undertakings

For so long as any Subscription Rights remain outstanding, the Company will comply with the undertakings in this Clause 5.

unless approved by the shareholders of the Company by written resolution or at a general meeting on or prior to the date hereof or unless authorised by the Board at a duly convened meeting of the Board held on or prior to the date hereof, it will notify the Warrantholder in writing of any proposed issue of securities to the holders of Common Shares as a class by way of rights at least 10 Business Days prior to the proposed date of such issue;

 

  (c)

  (d)

if it is proposed that there shall be a reorganisation or other restructuring of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than in connection with an Offer) involving the acquisition of the Company by a new holding company, the Company shall ensure that the Warrantholders’ Warrants are exchanged (to the extent not yet exercised) for warrants over the same proportion of the equity share capital of the new holding company as the Warrant Shares to which the Warrants relate constituted as a percentage of the equity share capital of the Company prior to such reorganisation or other restructuring of the Company, such warrants to be subject to substantially similar terms and conditions as the Warrants.

 

5.3

Events

 

  (a)

The Company will notify each Warrantholder in writing within three Business Days of the publication of any regulatory news service announcement in respect of a proposed Event specifying the proposed date and nature of such Event, provided that nothing in this Clause 5.3(a) shall require the Company to provide any information relating to the proposed Event which has not already been made public pursuant to a regulatory news service announcement;

In respect of any Offer, the Company shall procure that (i) appropriate provision is made in connection with the Offer such that the Warrantholder shall, following the announcement of the Offer, be entitled, upon exercise of these Warrants (at the election of the Warrantholder), to receive the number of shares or other securities of the Company, or other successor entity, or property (including cash) as to which the Warrantholder would have been entitled if the Warrantholder had exercised all of its rights pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior thereto and was able to participate in the Offer, or (ii) appropriate provision is made in connection with the Offer such that, upon the consummation thereof, and without any exercise of the Warrants by the Warrantholder or other action, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the number of shares or other securities of the Company, or other successor entity, or property (including cash) as to which the Warrantholder would have been entitled if the Warrantholder had exercised its rights pursuant to the Warrants immediately prior thereto on a Net Exercise basis as set forth in Clause 3.2.

 

5.4

Shareholders, Board and Management Meetings

Each of the Warrantholders shall have the right to:

receive notice of all shareholders meetings of the Company and class meetings of the holders of Common Shares but shall not be entitled to attend, speak or vote at those meetings in its capacity as a Warrantholder; and

 

  (b)

receive (at the same time as the relevant shareholders) a copy of any proposed written resolution of the shareholders or any proposed written class consent of the holders of Common Shares but shall not be entitled to vote on those resolutions in its capacity as a Warrantholder.

  (i)

any Affiliate of a Warrantholder; or

 

  (ii)

any person or entity approved in advance by the Board.

 

  (b)

Subject to Clause 5.5(a) above and further subject to compliance with federal and applicable state or foreign securities laws, and, as applicable, the provisions of this Warrant Instrument and the Articles as the same may be in effect from time to time, the registered holder of any Warrants may surrender the Certificate representing such Warrants at the principal office of the Company for transfer. Within a reasonable time after notice to the Company from the registered holder of its intention to make such transfer and without expense (other than transfer taxes, if any) to such registered holder, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor another Warrant Certificate for the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares so surrendered. The new Warrant Certificate(s) shall be issued in the name of such person or registered assignee, as the registered holder of such surrendered Warrants may designate in writing.

 

  (c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of Warrants will be registered unless:

 

  (i)

a transferee has (if so required by the Company) delivered to the Company a certificate in the prescribed form to the effect that such transferee is (i) not a US Person and that the proposed transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities law related to such transferee, (ii) is not acquiring, and will not be holding, such Warrants for the account or benefit of a US Person or with a view to the offer, sale or delivery, directly or indirectly, of such Warrants in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia or the Republic of South Africa or to or for the account or benefit of any US Person or any other person whom such transferee has reason to believe is purchasing for the purpose of such offer, sale or delivery and (iii):

  (ii)

a transferee has (i) if a US person or (ii) if acquiring for the account or benefit of a US person, relied on a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and a registration statement or an exemption therefrom under applicable state “blue sky” and any other applicable securities laws with respect to the Warrants proposed to be transferred that shall then be effective; or

 

13


  (iii)

a transferee has (i) if a US person or (ii) if acquiring for the account or benefit of a US person, delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to it that such Securities Act registration is not required because such transaction complies with the Securities Act or with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America under and with applicable state and US securities laws.

Liquidation and Dissolutions

If 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 the provisions of Clause 7.2 or 7.3 shall apply.

 

7.2

Sanctioned Agreement

If the winding-up or dissolution is for the purpose of a reorganisation or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement sanctioned by a special resolution of the Company, the terms of the scheme of arrangement will be binding on the Warrantholder.

 

7.3

Non Sanctioned Agreement

If Clause 7.2 does not apply, the Company shall immediately notify the Warrantholders, in writing, that such an order has been made or resolution has been passed or other dissolution is to be effected. The Warrantholders shall be entitled at any time within three months after the date such notice is given to elect by notice in writing to the Company to be treated as if they had, immediately before the date of the making of the order or passing of the resolution or other dissolution, exercised the Subscription Rights and they shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation to the holders of Common Shares, such a sum, if any, as they would have received had they been the holders of and paid for the Warrant Shares to which they would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise, after deducting from such sum the amount which would have been payable by them in respect of the Warrant Shares if they had exercised the Subscription Rights. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall have the effect of requiring the Warrantholders to make any actual payment to the Company. If no such notice is given by the Warrantholders within the three month period specified above, the Subscription Rights shall lapse without claim if an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding-up or the dissolution of the Company.

ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANT SHARES AND SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

 

1.

If there is an Adjustment Event whilst any of the Warrants are outstanding, the number and nominal value of Warrant Shares to be, or capable of being, subscribed on any subsequent exercise of the Subscription Rights and the Subscription Price will be adjusted in such manner as the Auditors or such other firm of accountants determined in accordance with clause 2.3 shall certify to be necessary in order that, after such adjustment:

 

  (a)

the total number of Warrant Shares to be, or capable of being, subscribed on any subsequent exercise of the Subscription Rights conferred by the Warrants:

will carry as nearly as possible (and in any event not less than) the same proportion (expressed as a percentage of the total number of votes exercisable in respect of all the Equity Shares) of the votes available to be cast at a general meeting of the Company; and

 

  (ii)

will carry the same entitlement (expressed as a percentage of the total entitlement conferred by all the Equity Shares) to participate in the profits and assets of the Company,

as would the total number of Warrant Shares which could have been subscribed pursuant to the Subscription Rights conferred by the Warrants had there been no such adjustment and no such event giving rise to such adjustment; and

 

  (b)

the aggregate Subscription Price payable in order to subscribe for all the Warrant Shares will be as nearly as possible the same as it was prior to such adjustment.

 

2.

In calculating the aggregate entitlement to additional Subscription Rights under paragraph 1 above, any entitlement to a fraction of a Warrant Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Warrant Share.

 

3.

The Company will send the Warrantholders notice of any adjustments to the Subscription Rights as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant resolution of the Board giving effect to or sanctioning the Adjustment Event together with a replacement Warrant Certificate evidencing each Warrantholder’s adjusted Subscription Rights.

SCHEDULE 4

PROVISIONS AS TO MEETINGS AND RESOLUTIONS OF WARRANTHOLDERS

 

1.

Calling of Meetings

The Company may at any time, and shall upon a request in writing signed by Warrantholders holding Warrants conferring not less than 10% of the Subscription Rights then outstanding, convene a meeting of Warrantholders in default of which such Warrantholders may convene such meeting themselves. Every such meeting shall be held at such reasonably convenient and appropriate place in the United Kingdom as the Directors may approve.

 

2.

Notice of Meetings

At least 14 clear days’ notice of the meeting shall be given to Warrantholders of any meeting of Warrantholders. Any meeting of Warrantholders may be called by shorter notice if it is so agreed by Warrantholders holding Warrants conferring not less than 90% of the Subscription Rights then outstanding. The notice shall specify the date, time and place of the meeting and the terms of the resolutions to be proposed. The accidental omission to give notice to, or the non-receipt of any such notice by, any of the Warrantholders shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting.

 

3.

Chairman

A person (who may, but need not be, a Warrantholder) nominated in writing by the Company shall be entitled to take the chair at every such meeting but if no such nomination is made, or if at any meeting the person nominated shall not be present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for the holding of such meeting, the Warrantholders present shall choose one of their number to be chairman.

 

4.

Quorum at Meetings

At any such meeting other than one at which a Special Resolution is proposed to be passed, two or more persons holding Warrants and/or being proxies and being or representing in aggregate Warrantholders registered as the holders of Warrants conferring not less than 10% of the Subscription Rights then outstanding shall form a quorum for the transaction of business. The quorum at any such meeting for the passing of a Special Resolution shall, subject to the remaining provisions of this paragraph 4, be two or more persons holding Warrants and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate Warrantholders registered as the holders of Warrants conferring not less than 50% of the Subscription Rights. No business other than the choosing of a chairman shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum be present at the commencement of business. 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.

 

5.

Absence of Quorum

If, within half an hour after the time appointed for any meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall, if convened upon the requisition of Warrantholders, be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned for such period, not being less than 14 days nor more than 28 days, and to such time and place, as may be appointed by the chairman. At such adjourned meeting one person present in person holding Warrants or being a proxy shall for all proposes form a quorum and shall have the power to pass any resolution (including a Special Resolution) and to decide upon all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place had a quorum been present at such meeting.

 

6.

Adjournment of Meetings

 

23


The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any meeting adjourn the same from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

 

7.

Notice of Adjournment of Meetings

At least five days’ notice of any meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be given to Warrantholders in the same manner as of an original meeting, and such notice shall state the quorum required at such adjourned meeting. Subject as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.

 

8.

Resolution on Show of Hands

Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in case of equality of votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which the chairman may be entitled as a Warrantholder or as a proxy.

 

9.

Demand for Poll

At any meeting, unless a poll is demanded by the chairman or by one or more Warrantholders (or by their proxies) being or representing in the aggregate Warrantholders registered as the holders of Warrants conferring not less than 10% of the Subscription Rights then outstanding (before or on the declaration of the result of a show of hands), a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by any particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

 

10.

Manner of taking Poll

If at any meeting a poll is so demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and, subject as hereinafter provided, either at once or after any adjournment, as the chairman directs, and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.

 

11.

Time for taking Poll

Any poll demanded at any meeting on the election of a chairman or on any question of adjournment shall be taken at the meeting without adjournment.

 

12.

Persons Entitled to Attend, Speak and Vote

The Company (through its representatives) and its legal and financial advisers shall be entitled to attend and speak at any meeting of Warrantholders. Save as aforesaid, no person shall be entitled to attend or vote at any meeting of Warrantholders or to join with others in requesting the convening of such a meeting unless he is a Warrantholder, the duly appointed corporate representative of a corporate Warrantholder or duly appointed proxy of a Warrantholder.

 

13.

Instrument Appointing a Proxy

A Warrantholder shall be entitled to appoint a proxy to attend any meeting of the Warrantholders and to vote at such meeting on behalf of such Warrantholder. Every instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing signed by the Warrantholder or (in the case of a corporation) by a duly authorised officer of the Warrantholder and shall be in such form as the Directors may approve (acting reasonably). Such instrument of proxy shall unless the contrary

 

24


is stated thereon be valid as well for an adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates and need not be witnessed. A person appointed to act as a proxy need not be a Warrantholder.

 

14.

Deposit of Instrument Appointing a Proxy

The instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified or office copy of such power of attorney shall be deposited at such place or places as the Company (or the Warrantholders in default of the Company convening the meeting) may in the notice of meeting direct or if no such place is specified then at the registered office of the Company, not less than forty-eight hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting or the taking of a poll at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote and in default the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the authority under which the instrument of proxy is given or transfer of the Warrants in respect of which it is given unless previous intimation in writing of such revocation or transfer shall have been received at the registered office of the Company. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of twelve months from the date named in it as the date of its execution.

 

15.

Votes

  (a)

on a show of hands each Warrantholder who is present in person (or in the case of a corporation by a duly authorised representative) and each person who is a proxy shall have one vote; and

 

  (b)

on a poll each Warrantholder who is present in person or by proxy as aforesaid shall have a number of votes equal to the proportion (expressed as a percentage figure rounded up or, as appropriate, down to the nearest one tenth of 1%) of the outstanding Subscription Rights represented by Warrants held by him. Any person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes to which he is entitled in the same way.

 

16.

A meeting of Warrantholders shall in addition to all other powers (but without prejudice to any powers conferred on other persons by this instrument) have the following powers exercisable by a Special Resolution, namely:

 

  (a)

power to sanction any compromise or arrangement proposed to be made between the Company and the Warrantholders or any of them;

  (h)

power to appoint any persons (whether Warrantholders or not) as a committee or committees to represent the Interest of the Warrantholders and to confer upon such committee any powers or discretions which the Warrantholders could themselves exercise by Special Resolution.

 

17.

A Special Resolution binding on all Warrantholders

A Special Resolution shall be binding upon all the Warrantholders, whether present or not present at such meeting, and each of the Warrantholders shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly. The passing of any such resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances of such resolution justified the passing thereof.

 

18.

Definition of a Special Resolution

19.

Minutes of Meetings

Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting shall be made and duly entered in books to be from time to time provided for that purpose by the Company, and any such minutes, if the same are signed by the chairmen of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings transacted or by the chairman of the next succeeding meeting of the Warrantholder, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein contained and, until the contrary is proved, every meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been made and signed as aforesaid shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted thereafter to have been duly passed and transacted.
