Important information

The Prospectus has been approved by the FCA as the competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation").  The FCA only approves the Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Company or of the Ordinary Shares that are the subject of the Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Ordinary Shares. The Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority ("Belgian FSMA") has been notified of the passporting of this Prospectus in accordance with Article 25 of the Prospectus Regulation.

The Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or to subscribe for, Ordinary Shares to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which jurisdiction such offer or solicitation is unlawful and, in particular, is not for distribution in Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa. The Company does not accept any legal responsibility for any violation by any person, whether or not a prospective investor, of any such restrictions. No action has been, or will be, taken in any jurisdiction that would permit a public offering of the New Ordinary Shares, or the possession, circulation or distribution of the Prospectus or any other material relating to the Company or the New Ordinary Shares, in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

The New Ordinary Shares have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States, except in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. There will be no public offer of the New Ordinary Shares in the United States.

The New Ordinary Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), any state securities commission in the United States or any United States regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the New Ordinary Shares or the accuracy or completeness of the Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States or in any other jurisdiction.

The issue of the New Ordinary Shares has not been, and will not be, qualified for sale or distribution under any applicable securities laws of Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa. Subject to certain exceptions, the New Ordinary Shares may not be offered, sold or delivered within Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa, or to, or for the benefit of, any national, resident or citizen of Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa.

Persons who come into possession of the Prospectus should inform themselves about and observe any applicable restrictions and legal, exchange control or regulatory requirements in relation to the distribution of the Prospectus and the Issues. Any failure to comply with such restrictions or requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
