Concert Party

Tony Ford, John Rigby, Andrew Melbourne, Simon Daniels, Matthew Clancy and Stuart Lees, together with their respective families and other connected persons are deemed to be acting in concert and regarded by the Takeover Panel to be members of the concert party detailed in the Company's admission document dated 6 April 2017 ("Admission Document") (the "Concert Party"). Following the Sale, the Concert Party will remain the holders in aggregate of not less than 30 per cent., but not more than 50 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital. Ordinarily, should any member of the Concert Party or any person acting in concert with any member of the Concert Party acquire an interest in any shares (excluding the exercise of existing options granted to Andrew Melbourne, detailed in the Company's Admission Document) which increases the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in such company in which the Concert Party (or any person acting in concert with the Concert Party) is interested, that person together with people acting in concert with that person will be required to make a general offer in cash to all shareholders in the Company, at the highest price paid by that person or any person acting in concert with that person for an interest in such shares within the preceding 12 months, for all the remaining equity share capital of that Company. However, in accordance with Note 11 on Rule 9.1 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, if a person or a group of persons acting in concert carrying more than 30 per cent. of the voting rights of a company reduces its interest but not to less than 30 per cent, such person or persons may subsequently acquire an interest of up to one per cent. in further shares in the 12 months following the reduction without incurring an obligation to make a general offer.

The respective holdings of each Concert Party member (showing the resultant shareholdings of Tony Ford following the Gift) are outlined in the table below:
