The Offer is also well supported by certain other major shareholders of the Company, who have provided irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer on the terms set out in the Announcement in respect of a further 20,027,480 shares in aggregate, representing approximately 39.06 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
