Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company's total issued share capital consists of 100,923,133 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 100,923,133.
