Liquidation

As noted in the Circular, the Directors have set aside sufficient assets in the Liquidation Pool to meet all estimated liabilities and contingencies, including the costs of the winding up of the Company and the costs of implementing the Scheme. The Directors have also provided in the Liquidation Pool for a retention of £100,000 which they, together with the joint Liquidators, consider sufficient to meet any unknown or unascertained liabilities of the Company.

The Liquidation Pool will be applied by the joint Liquidators in discharging all current and future actual and contingent liabilities of the Company. Any balance remaining after discharging such liabilities from the Liquidation Pool will in due course be distributed to Shareholders pro rata to their respective holdings of Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.

In accordance with the Circular, Shareholders who were deemed to have elected for the Rollover Option will receive their new IAT Shares via CREST on 14 February 2025 and, in relation to certificated Shareholders, by no later than 10 Business Days from the Effective Date of 13 February 2025. Shareholders who elected, or were deemed to have elected, for the Cash Option will receive their entitlements within 10 Business Days from the Effective Date via CREST and/or cheque.
