(b) The Company shall pay to the relevant Indemnified Person within 10 Business Days of written demand therefor an amount equal to such Loss, provided that no Indemnified Person will be entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any Loss to the extent that it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Loss, resulted from the negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its affiliates, officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, shareholders, agents or controlling persons (all such persons “Related Parties”).

6.2 Conduct of Claims

(a) In case any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Person in respect of which recovery may be sought from the Company under this Clause 6, the relevant Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such fact, but failure to do so will not relieve the Company from any liability under this Agreement and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of the indemnities contained in this Agreement.

(c) The Company may participate at its own expense in the defence of any such action; provided, however, that legal advisers to the Company shall not (except with the consent of the relevant Indemnified Person) also be legal advisers to the Indemnified Person.

Indemnified Person, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under this Clause 6 (whether or not the Indemnified Person(s) are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent:

For the purposes of Conditions 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.10 and 6.12 and Condition 11 only, (i) references to the “issue” of ADSs or Ordinary Shares or ADSs or Ordinary Shares being “issued” shall include the transfer and/or issue and delivery of ADSs or Ordinary Shares (including without limitation Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), whether newly issued and allotted or previously existing or held by or on behalf of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) Ordinary Shares (including without limitation Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by or on behalf of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (and which, in the case of Condition 6.2(d), do not rank for the relevant right or other entitlement) shall not be considered as or treated as “in issue” or “issued”, or entitled to receive the relevant Dividend, right or other entitlement.

4. Registration and Transfer of Bonds

4.1 Registration

The Issuer will keep or will cause to be kept a Register as provided in Clause 5 (Register and Title) of the Bond Agreement.


EMEA 149041286	57

4.2 Transfer

Bonds may be transferred in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 5 (Register and Title) and 11 (Transfer of Rights and Obligations) of the Bond Agreement.

5. Interest

5.1 Interest Rate

(a) Interest Rate

The Bonds bear interest from (and including) the Closing Date at the rate of 5.5 per cent. per annum (the “Rate of Interest”) payable quarterly in arrear in equal instalments of $13.75 per each $1,000 (the “Calculation Amount”) in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding on the date falling three months after the Closing Date and on each three-month anniversary date thereof (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”, as specified in the Initial Determinations Notice), with the final Interest Payment Date falling on the Final Maturity Date.

The amount of interest payable per each Calculation Amount in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding in respect of any period which is shorter than an Interest Period shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the product (rounded to nearest integral multiple of $0.01 (with $0.005 being rounded upwards)) of: (i) the Calculation Amount; (ii) the Rate of Interest; and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the relevant period and the denominator of which is the product of (A) the number of days from (and including) the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Closing Date) to (but excluding) the next Interest Payment Date and (B) 4, being the number of Interest Periods normally ending in any year.

“Interest Period” means the period beginning on (and including) the Closing Date and ending on (but excluding) the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period beginning on (and including) an Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(b) Deemed Interest ADS Settlement Option Exercise

In respect of the interest payment due on each Interest Payment Date, the Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised its option (the “Interest ADS Settlement Option”) to make payment of the relevant interest amount by the issue or transfer and delivery of Deliverable ADSs (and, if applicable, Additional Deliverable ADSs) to Bondholders with respect to all, and not some only, of the Bonds subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Condition 9.9, except if (i) the Issuer shall elect (in its sole discretion), by giving notice thereof (an “Interest Cash Settlement Option Notice”) (which notice shall be irrevocable) to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 at least two Notice Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date, to satisfy its obligation to make payment on such Interest Payment Date pursuant to this Condition 5.1 by paying in cash, or (ii) an ADS Settlement Liquidity Event is occurring or occurs prior to the issue or transfer and delivery of the relevant Deliverable ADSs (in which case, in the case of (i) or (ii) the interest payment shall be paid by the Issuer in cash).


EMEA 149041286	58

5.2 Accrual of Interest

Each Bond will cease to bear interest (i) where the Conversion Right shall have been exercised by a Bondholder, from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the relevant Conversion Date or, if none, the Closing Date (subject in any such case as provided in Condition 6.13) or (ii) where such Bond is redeemed or repaid pursuant to Condition 7 or Condition 10 from the due date for redemption or repayment thereof unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused or, following any election by the Issuer to exercise the ADS Settlement Option, the Issuer fails duly to perform its obligations to issue and deliver the Deliverable ADSs in accordance with Condition 9.9, in which event interest will continue to accrue at the rate specified in Condition 5.1 (both before and after judgment) up to, but excluding, the Relevant Date or, as the case may be, until such issue and delivery of Deliverable ADSs is duly made in accordance with Condition 9.9.

6. Conversion of Bonds

6.1 Conversion Period and Conversion Price

Subject to the right of the Issuer to make a Cash Alternative Election and as otherwise provided in these Conditions, each Bond shall entitle the holder to convert each principal amount of such Bond which is outstanding into new and/or existing ADSs representing Ordinary Shares (or representing rights to receive Ordinary Shares, such Ordinary Shares being issued to and held by the Depositary) as determined by the Issuer, credited as fully paid (a “Conversion Right”).

The number of ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered on exercise of a Conversion Right (subject to the right of the Issuer to make a Cash Alternative Election) shall be equal to the Reference ADSs in respect of such exercise, subject to Condition 6.3.

The “Conversion Price” is initially U.S.$8.70 (the “Initial Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the circumstances described in Condition 6.2, Condition 6.4 and Condition 6.5.

Subject to and as provided in these Conditions, the Conversion Right in respect of a Bond may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time subject to any applicable fiscal or other laws or regulations and as hereinafter provided from (and including) the 41st day after the Closing Date to (and including) the date falling five London and New York business days prior to the Final Maturity Date, unless there shall be a default in making payment in respect of such Bond on any such date fixed for redemption, in which event the Conversion Right shall extend up to (and including) the date on which the full amount of such payment becomes available for payment and notice of such availability has been given to Bondholders or, if earlier, the Final Maturity Date; provided that, in each case, if such final date for the exercise of Conversion Rights is not a London and New York business day, then the period for exercise of Conversion Rights by Bondholders shall end on (and including) the immediately preceding London and New York business day.

The period during which Conversion Rights may (subject as provided below) be exercised by a Bondholder is referred to as the “Conversion Period”.

Fractions of ADSs will not be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights or pursuant to Condition 6.3 and no cash payment or other adjustment will be made in lieu thereof. However, if the Conversion Right in respect of more than one Bond is exercised at any one time such that ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered on conversion or pursuant to Condition 6.3 are to be registered in the same name, the number of


EMEA 149041286	59

such ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered in respect thereof shall, in accordance with the definition of “Reference ADSs”, be calculated by the Calculation Agent on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Bonds being so converted and rounded down to the nearest whole number of ADSs.

Conversion Rights may not be exercised (i) following the giving of notice by the holders of at least one-quarter in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding pursuant to Condition 10; (ii) in respect of a Bond in respect of which the relevant holder has exercised its right to require the Issuer to redeem pursuant to Condition 7.2; or (iii) in the period from the Record Date immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date until such Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date (both dates inclusive).

Subject to the right of the Issuer to make a Cash Alternative Election, the Issuer will procure that ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights will be issued and/or transferred and delivered to, or to the order of, the holder of the Bonds in accordance with the Payment Details in accordance with the provisions of Condition 6.10. Such ADSs will be deemed to be issued and/or transferred and delivered as of the relevant Conversion Date. Any Additional ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered pursuant to Condition 6.3 will be deemed to be issued and/or transferred and delivered as of the relevant Reference Date.

Where there is any change to the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS, or where following a change in the Relevant Stock Exchange for the Shares or otherwise the Ordinary Shares are no longer represented by ADSs but are instead represented by depositary or other receipts or certificates which are not ADSs, such modification shall be made to the operation of these Conditions, including without limitation, the adjustment provisions as is appropriate to give the intended result, as determined by an Independent Adviser or (if the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion it is capable of making such determination in its capacity as Calculation Agent) the Calculation Agent.

The Bondholder covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will deliver the ADSs received pursuant to conversion of the Bonds (including ADSs received pursuant to any ADS Settlement Option) to close out or repay the borrow associated with any Short Sale executed by it, except in compliance with applicable law. “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO promulgated under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

Prior to the 41st day after the Closing Date, no offer or sale of Bonds may be made, and no transfer of the Bonds will be effected, except in compliance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S, pursuant to registration of the Bonds under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

6.2 Adjustment of Conversion Price

Subject to the provisions of this Condition 6, upon the occurrence of any of the events described below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent as follows:

(a) Consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision

If and whenever there shall be a consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision affecting the number of Ordinary Shares in issue, the Conversion Price


EMEA 149041286	60

shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

AB×CD

where:


A		is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision, as the case may be;
B		is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after, and as a result of, such consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision, as the case may be;
C		is the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS following or as a result or consequence of such consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision, as the case may be; and
D		is the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS immediately prior to such consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this paragraph (a), the date on which the consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or sub-division, as the case may be, takes effect.

(b) Capitalisation of profits or reserves

If and whenever the Issuer shall issue any Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid to Shareholders by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve (other than an issue of Ordinary Shares constituting a Scrip Dividend) the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

AB×CD

where:


A		is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such issue;
B		is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after such issue;
C		is the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS following or as a result or consequence of such issue of Ordinary Shares; and

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this paragraph (b), the date of issue of such Ordinary Shares.

(i) If and whenever the Issuer shall declare, announce, make or pay any Dividend to Shareholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

where:


A		is the Current Market Price of one Ordinary Share on the Ex-Date in respect of such Dividend; and
B		is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Dividend attributable to one Ordinary Share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Dividend by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the relevant Dividend (or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Ordinary Shares, ADSs or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Ordinary Shares by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer, by the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following such purchase, redemption or buy back, and treating as not being in issue any Ordinary Shares, or any Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs or other depositary or other receipts or certificates, purchased, redeemed or bought back).

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this paragraph (c)(i), the later of (A) the Ex-Date in respect of such Dividend and (B) the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Dividend is capable of being determined as provided herein.

(ii) For the purposes of the above, Fair Market Value shall (subject as provided in the definition of “Dividend” and in the definition of “Fair Market Value”) be determined as at the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant Dividend.

(d) Rights issues

If and whenever the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or (at the direction or request or pursuant to any arrangements with the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer) any other company, person or entity shall issue any Ordinary Shares to Shareholders as a class by way of rights, or shall issue or grant to Shareholders as a class by way of rights, any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Ordinary Shares, or any other Securities which by


EMEA 149041286	62

their terms of issue carry (directly or indirectly) rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, or the right to otherwise acquire, any Ordinary Shares (or shall grant any such rights in respect of existing Securities so issued), in each case at a consideration receivable per Ordinary Share (based, where appropriate, on such number of Ordinary Shares as is determined pursuant to the definition of “C” and the proviso below) which is less than 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Ordinary Share on the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant issue or grant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

where:


A		is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue on such Ex-Date;
B		is the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights, or for the Securities issued by way of rights and upon exercise of rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, or the right to otherwise acquire, Ordinary Shares, or for the options or warrants or other rights issued by way of rights and for the total number of Ordinary Shares deliverable on the exercise thereof, would purchase at such Current Market Price per Ordinary Share on the Ex-Date; and
C		is the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued or, as the case may be, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights calculated as at the date of issue of such options, warrants or rights or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of rights of subscription or purchase or other rights of acquisition in respect thereof at the initial conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition price or rate;

provided that if on such Ex-Date such number of Ordinary Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time, then for the purposes of this paragraph (d), “C” shall be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at such Ex-Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition had taken place on such Ex-Date.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this paragraph (d), the later of (i) the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant issue or grant and (ii) the first date upon which the adjusted Conversion Price is capable of being determined in accordance with this paragraph (d).

(e) Issue of Securities to Shareholders

If and whenever the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or (at the direction or request or pursuant to any arrangements with the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer) any other company, person or entity shall (other than in the circumstances the subject of paragraph (d) above and other than constituting a Scrip Dividend) issue any Securities to Shareholders as a class by way of rights or grant to Shareholders as


EMEA 149041286	63

a class by way of rights any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Securities, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

where:


A		is the Current Market Price of one Ordinary Share on the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant issue or grant; and
B		is the Fair Market Value on such Ex-Date of the portion of the rights attributable to one Ordinary Share.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this paragraph (e), the later of (i) the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant issue or grant and (ii) the first date upon which the adjusted Conversion Price is capable of being determined in accordance with this paragraph (e).

EMEA 149041286	66

modification, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

where:


A		is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the date of first public announcement of the terms for such modification;
B		is the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the Ordinary Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon conversion or exchange or upon exercise of the right of subscription, purchase or acquisition attached to the Securities so modified would purchase at such Current Market Price per Ordinary Share on the date of first public announcement of the terms for such modification or, if lower, the existing conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition price or rate of such Securities; and

B		is the Fair Market Value on such Ex-Date of the portion of the relevant offer attributable to one Ordinary Share.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this paragraph (i), the later of (A) the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant offer and (B) the first date upon which the adjusted Conversion Price is capable of being determined in accordance with this paragraph (i).

COCCP=OCP1+CP × ct

where:


COCCP	=	means the Change of Control Conversion Price
OCP	=	means the Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Conversion Date
CP	=	means the Conversion Premium, being 20 per cent.
c	=	means the number of days from and including the date the Change of Control occurs to but excluding the Final Maturity Date

(k) Other adjustments

Subject to Condition 6.7, if either the Issuer (following consultation with the Calculation Agent) or the Majority Bondholders (each acting reasonably) determines that an adjustment (for the purpose of compensating for dilution) should be made to the Conversion Price (or that a determination should be made as to whether an adjustment should be made) as a result of one or more circumstances not referred to above in this Condition 6.2) (except for events specifically excluded from the


EMEA 149041286	68

operation of paragraphs (a) to (j) above), the Issuer shall, at its own expense and acting reasonably, request an Independent Adviser to determine, in consultation with the Calculation Agent, if different as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable to take account thereof and the date on which such adjustment (if any) should take effect and upon such determination such adjustment (if any) shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that an adjustment shall only be made pursuant to this paragraph (k) if such Independent Adviser is so requested to make such a determination not more than 21 days after the date on which the relevant circumstances arises (or, if later, 21 days after the date on which the relevant circumstances are made public or otherwise are made known to the Bondholders) and if the adjustment would result in a reduction to the Conversion Price.

(l) Modifications

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions:

(i) where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment pursuant to this Condition 6.2 have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of any other events or circumstances which have already given or will give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where more than one event which gives rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that, in the opinion of the Issuer, acting reasonably and following consultation with the Calculation Agent, a modification to the operation of the adjustment provisions is required to give the intended result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the adjustment provisions as may be determined in good faith by an Independent Adviser to be in its opinion appropriate to give the intended result;

(ii) such modification shall be made to the operation of these Conditions as may be determined in good faith by an Independent Adviser, in consultation with the Calculation Agent (if different), to be in its opinion appropriate (A) to ensure that an adjustment to the Conversion Price or the economic effect thereof shall not be taken into account more than once and (B) to ensure that the economic effect of a Dividend is not taken into account more than once; and

(iii) other than pursuant to Condition 6.2(a) or Condition 6.5 or pursuant to a NewCo Scheme Modification, no adjustment shall be made that would result in an increase to the Conversion Price.

(m) Calculation of consideration

For the purpose of any calculation of the consideration receivable or price pursuant to paragraphs (d), (f), (g) and (h) above, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) the aggregate consideration receivable or price for Ordinary Shares issued for cash shall be the amount of such cash (determined by reference to the per-ADS amount of such cash where available);

(ii) (x) the aggregate consideration receivable or price for Ordinary Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon the conversion or exchange of any Securities shall be deemed to be the consideration or price received or


EMEA 149041286	69

receivable for any such Securities (whether on one or more occasions) and (y) the aggregate consideration receivable or price for Ordinary Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon the exercise of rights of subscription attached to any Securities or upon the exercise of any options, warrants or rights shall be deemed to be that part (which may be the whole) of the consideration or price received or receivable for such Securities or, as the case may be, for such options, warrants or rights which are attributed by the Issuer to such rights of subscription or, as the case may be, such options, warrants or rights or, if no part of such consideration or price is so attributed, the Fair Market Value of such rights of subscription or, as the case may be, such options, warrants or rights as at the relevant Ex-Date referred to in paragraph (d) above or as at the relevant date of first public announcement referred to in paragraphs (f), (g) and (h) above, as the case may be, plus in the case of each of (x) and (y) above in this paragraph, the additional minimum consideration receivable or price (if any) upon the conversion or exchange of such Securities, or upon the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto or, as the case may be, upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights and (z) the consideration receivable or price per Ordinary Share upon the conversion or exchange of, or upon the exercise of such rights of subscription attached to, such Securities or, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights shall be the aggregate consideration or price referred to in (x) or (y) above in this paragraph (as the case may be) divided by the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon such conversion or exchange or exercise at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate, all as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent;

(iii) if the consideration or price determined pursuant to (i) or (ii) above (or any component thereof) shall be expressed in a currency other than the Relevant Currency (other than in circumstances where such consideration is also expressed in the Relevant Currency, in which case such consideration shall be treated as expressed in the Relevant Currency in an amount equal to the amount of such consideration when so expressed in the Relevant Currency), it shall be converted by the Calculation Agent into the Relevant Currency at the Prevailing Rate on the relevant Ex-Date (for the purposes of paragraph (d) above) or the relevant date of first public announcement (for the purposes of paragraph (f), (g) and (h) above, as the case may be);

(iv) in determining the consideration or price pursuant to the above, no deduction shall be made for any commissions or fees (howsoever described) or any expenses paid or incurred for any underwriting, placing or management of the issue of the relevant Ordinary Shares or such other Securities or options, warrants or rights, or otherwise in connection therewith;

(v) the consideration or price shall be determined as provided above on the basis of the consideration or price received, receivable, paid or payable, regardless of whether all or part thereof is received, receivable, paid or payable by or to the Issuer or another entity;

(vi) if as part of the same transaction, Ordinary Shares shall be issued or issuable for a consideration receivable in more than one or in different currencies then the consideration receivable per Ordinary Share shall be determined by dividing the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid and


EMEA 149041286	70

converted, if and to the extent not in the Relevant Currency, into the Relevant Currency as aforesaid) by the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares so issued; and

(vii) references in these Conditions to “cash” shall be construed as cash consideration within the meaning of Section 583(3) of the Companies Act.

6.3 Retroactive Adjustments

If a Retroactive Adjustment occurs in relation to any exercise of Conversion Rights, the Issuer shall procure that there shall be issued and/or transferred and delivered to, or to the order of, the relevant Bondholder in accordance with the Payment Details, such additional number of ADSs (if any) (the “Additional ADSs”) as, together with the ADSs issued and/or transferred and delivered on the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, is equal to the number of Physically Settled ADSs which would have been required to be issued and/or transferred and delivered on such exercise if the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price had been made and become effective immediately prior to the relevant Conversion Date (such number of Physically Settled ADSs as aforesaid being for this purpose calculated as (i) where such exercise of Conversion Rights is not the subject of a Cash Alternative Election, the Reference ADSs in respect of such exercise of Conversion Rights determined for this purpose by reference to such deemed Conversion Price as aforesaid, and (ii) where such exercise of Conversion Rights is the subject of a Cash Alternative Election, the difference between (A) such number of Reference ADSs as is determined pursuant to (i) and (B) the product of (x) such number of Reference ADSs determined as aforesaid and (y) the Cash Settlement Ratio in respect of such exercise of Conversion Rights), all as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent or an Independent Adviser, provided that if in the case of Conditions 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e) or 6.2(i) the relevant Bondholder shall be entitled to receive the relevant Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), Dividends or such other Securities in respect of the Reference ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered to it, then no such Retroactive Adjustment shall be made in relation to the relevant event and the relevant Bondholder shall not be entitled to receive Additional ADSs in relation thereto.

6.4 Conversion Price Reset

Subject to the following sentence, on each Reset Date, the Conversion Price will be adjusted by the Calculation Agent to be equal to the Reset Conversion Price. An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6.4 on any Reset Date (each such adjustment, a “Conversion Price Reset”) shall be made only if the Conversion Price so adjusted is lower than the Conversion Price that would, but for the operation of this Condition 6.4 in respect of such Reset Date, be in effect on such Reset Date.

The “Reset Conversion Price” means, on each Reset Date, the US Dollar price per ADS which is the greater of:

(a) the 30-Day Reset Average Market Price; and

(b) the relevant Reset Price Floor on such Reset Date,

as determined by the Calculation Agent.

The “Reset Price Floor” on each “Reset Date” (being each of the dates set out in (i), (ii) and (iii) below, as specified in the Initial Determinations Notice) means the US Dollar price per ADS calculated (and rounded to the nearest integral multiple of $0.0001 (with $0.00005 being rounded upwards)) as follows:


EMEA 149041286	71

(i) for the date falling on the first anniversary date of the Closing Date: (RCP x 2 / 3) + (FP / 3)

(ii) for the date falling on the second anniversary date of the Closing Date: (RCP / 3) + (FP x 2 / 3)

(iii) for the date falling on the third anniversary date of the Closing Date: FP

where:

RCP = means the Reference Conversion Price on the relevant Reset Date.

FP = means the Floor Price on the relevant Reset Date.

“Reference Conversion Price”, for the purposes of this Condition 6.4, on any date means, initially, U.S.$8.70, as shall from time to time be adjusted pro rata for any adjustment made to the Conversion Price (and with effect from the date on which such adjustment becomes effective) pursuant to Condition 6.2 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not adjusted for any adjustment made to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6.4 or Condition 6.5 and ignoring for these purposes Condition 6.2(j)); and

“Floor Price” on any date means, initially U.S.$7.25, as shall from time to time be adjusted pro rata for any adjustment made to the Conversion Price (and with effect from the date on which such adjustment becomes effective) pursuant to Condition 6.2 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not adjusted for any adjustment made to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6.4 or Condition 6.5 and ignoring for these purposes Condition 6.2(j)).

Any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6.4 shall become effective as of the relevant Reset Date (or, if later, the first date on which such adjustment is capable of being determined in accordance with these Conditions) and notice of any such adjustment shall be given by the Issuer to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16.

On any adjustment to the Reference Conversion Price or Floor Price, the resultant Reference Conversion Price or Floor Price, as the case may be, if not an integral multiple of $0.0001, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of $0.0001. No adjustment shall be made to the Reference Conversion Price or Floor Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than one per cent. of the Reference Conversion Price or Floor Price, as the case may be, then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made and/or any amount by which the Reference Conversion Price or Floor Price, as the case may be, has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made.

Notice of any adjustments to the Reference Conversion Price and Floor Price, as the case may be, and the resulting Reset Price Floor for each Reset Date falling on or after the date on which such adjustment becomes effective (determined, solely for the purpose of such notice, on the basis of the Reference Conversion Price and Floor Price so adjusted), shall be given by the Issuer to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 promptly after the determination thereof.

6.5 Conversion Price Reset Clawback at the Issuer’s Option

Following the occurrence of a Conversion Price Reset (as defined in Condition 6.4) pursuant to Condition 6.4 on a Reset Date (the “Reference Reset Date”), if the Volume Weighted Average Price of an ADS (translated if necessary into US Dollars at the Prevailing Rate) on


EMEA 149041286	72

each of at least 20 Dealing Days in any period of 30 consecutive Dealing Days commencing on or after such Reference Reset Date shall have exceeded 150% of the Reference Conversion Price (as defined in Condition 6.4) on such Dealing Day (or, if such Dealing Day falls on or after the Applicable Adjustment Reference Date in respect of any adjustment required to be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to these Conditions (other than an adjustment pursuant to Condition 6.4 or Condition 6.5) and such adjustment is not yet in effect on such Dealing Day, the Volume Weighted Average Price on such Dealing Day shall be divided by the adjustment factor (as determined pursuant to these Conditions) applied to the Conversion Price in respect of such adjustment), as verified by the Calculation Agent, then the Issuer will have the right (but not the obligation) to require the Calculation Agent to adjust the Conversion Price (the “Reset Clawback”) such that it shall be the Conversion Price which would otherwise have been in effect on the Clawback Effective Date (as defined below) had the most recent Conversion Price Reset not been made.

For the avoidance of doubt, if there shall have been Conversion Price Resets pursuant to Condition 6.4 on more than one Reset Date, the Issuer’s exercise of the Reset Clawback (if the Issuer’s right should arise and be exercised under this Condition 6.5) shall apply solely in relation to the most recent Conversion Price Reset and shall have no effect on any Conversion Price Reset which occurred prior to the most recent Conversion Price Reset.

Notice of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6.5 shall promptly be given by the Issuer to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16, and any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6.5 shall become effective as of the date on which such notice is given to Bondholders (any such date, a “Clawback Effective Date”). Any such notice shall specify the Conversion Price so adjusted.

The Issuer may only exercise its right of the Reset Clawback under this Condition 6.5 on one occasion during the term of the Bonds.

6.6 Decision and Determination of the Calculation Agent or an Independent Adviser

Adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be determined and calculated by the Calculation Agent upon request from the Issuer and/or, to the extent so specified in the Conditions and upon request from the Issuer, by an Independent Adviser.

Adjustments to the Conversion Price calculated by the Calculation Agent or, where applicable, an Independent Adviser and any other determinations made by the Calculation Agent or, where applicable, an Independent Adviser, or an opinion of an Independent Adviser, pursuant to these Conditions shall in each case be made in good faith and shall be final and binding (in the absence of manifest error) on the Issuer, the Bondholders and the Calculation Agent (in the case of a determination by an Independent Adviser).

The Calculation Agent may consult, at the expense of the Issuer, on any matter (including, but not limited to, any legal matter), any legal or other professional adviser and it shall be able to rely upon, and it shall not be liable and shall incur no liability as against the Bondholders in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done, relating to that matter in good faith in accordance with that adviser’s opinion.

The Calculation Agent shall act solely upon the request from, and exclusively as agent of, the Issuer and in accordance with these Conditions. Neither the Calculation Agent (acting in such capacity) nor any Independent Adviser appointed in connection with the Bonds (acting in such capacity) will thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust and shall not be liable and shall incur no liability in respect of anything done, or omitted


EMEA 149041286	73

to be done in good faith, in their capacity as Calculation Agent, or as the case may be, Independent Adviser, as against the Bondholders.

If following consultation between the Issuer and the Calculation Agent any doubt shall arise as to whether an adjustment falls to be made to the Conversion Price or as to the appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price, following consultation between the Issuer and an Independent Adviser, a written opinion of such Independent Adviser in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Bondholders and the Calculation Agent (if different), save in the case of manifest error.

The Issuer shall promptly notify Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 of each determination, calculation or adjustment performed by the Calculation Agent and/or Independent Adviser pursuant to these Conditions.

6.7 Share or Option Schemes, Dividend Reinvestment Plans, Equity Raise

No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price where ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other Securities (including, but not limited to, rights, warrants and options) are issued, offered, exercised, allotted, purchased, appropriated, modified or granted (i) to, or for the benefit of, employees or former employees (including directors holding or formerly holding executive office or non-executive office, consultants or former consultants, or the personal service company of any such person) or their spouses or relatives, in each case, of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any associated company or to a trustee or nominee to be held for the benefit of any such person, in any such case pursuant to any share or option or incentive scheme or (ii) pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or similar plan or scheme.

No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price in respect of any Ordinary Shares (including without limitation Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) or any warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (including without limitation Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) in each case issued pursuant to the Equity Raise.

6.8 Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment to the Conversion Price

On any adjustment, the resultant Conversion Price, if not an integral multiple of $0.0001, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of $0.0001. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than one per cent. of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made and/or any amount by which the Conversion Price has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made.

Notice of any adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be given by the Issuer to Bondholders promptly after the determination thereof.

The Conversion Price shall not in any event be reduced so that on conversion of the Bonds, Ordinary Shares or ADSs would fall to be issued in circumstances not permitted by applicable laws or regulations. The Issuer undertakes that it shall not take any action, and shall procure that no action is taken, that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price to below any minimum level permitted by applicable laws or regulations or that would otherwise result in Ordinary Shares or ADSs being required to be issued or transferred and delivered in circumstances not permitted by applicable laws or regulations.


EMEA 149041286	74

6.9 Relevant Event

Within 14 calendar days following the occurrence of a Relevant Event, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 (a “Relevant Event Notice”). The Relevant Event Notice shall contain a statement informing Bondholders of (i) their entitlement to exercise their Conversion Rights as provided in these Conditions and (ii) their entitlement to exercise their rights to require redemption of their Bonds pursuant to Condition 7.2.

The Relevant Event Notice shall also specify:

(a) all information material to Bondholders concerning the Relevant Event;

(b) the Conversion Price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Relevant Event and, in the case of a Change of Control, the Change of Control Conversion Price applicable pursuant to Condition 6.2(j) on the basis of the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control;

(d) the Relevant Event Period; and

(e) the Relevant Event Put Date.

6.10 Procedure for exercise of Conversion Rights

Conversion Rights may be exercised by a Bondholder (provided that the relevant Conversion Date falls during the Conversion Period) by delivering the relevant Bond Certificate to the Issuer accompanied by a Conversion Notice. The conversion date in respect of a Bond (the “Conversion Date”) shall be the business day in London and New York on the date of the delivery (or deemed delivery) of the relevant Conversion Notice and Bond Certificate as provided in this Condition 6.10 and shall be deemed to be the date on which the Conversion Right is exercised in respect of such Bond.

If such delivery is made after 5.00p.m. London time or on a day which is not a London and New York business day, such delivery shall be deemed for all purposes of these Conditions to have been made on the next following London and New York business day.

Conversion Rights may only be exercised in respect of the whole of a Bond.

A Conversion Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable.

The Issuer shall pay all capital, stamp, issue and registration and transfer taxes and duties assessable or payable in the United Kingdom or in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer may be domiciled or resident or to whose taxing jurisdiction it may be generally subject (“Specified Taxes”), in respect of the issue or transfer and delivery of any ADSs (including the allotment, issue and delivery of Ordinary Shares represented thereby) in respect of the exercise of such Conversion Right (including any Additional ADSs) and any ADS Settlement. If the Issuer fails to pay any Specified Taxes assessable or payable in respect of the issue or transfer and delivery of any ADSs (including the allotment, issue and delivery of Ordinary Shares represented thereby) in respect of the exercise of such Conversion Right (including any Additional ADSs) and any ADS Settlement, the relevant Bondholder shall be entitled to tender and pay the same and the Issuer, as a separate and independent stipulation, covenants to reimburse and indemnify each


EMEA 149041286	75

Bondholder in respect of any payment thereof and any interest and penalties payable and documented costs incurred in respect thereof.

A Bondholder exercising Conversion Rights must pay directly to the relevant authorities of a relevant jurisdiction any capital, stamp, issue, registration and transfer taxes and duties arising on the exercise of Conversion Rights excluding any Specified Taxes (which shall be payable by the Issuer). A Bondholder must also pay, or procure the payment of, all, if any, taxes imposed on it and arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal by it of a Bond or interest therein in connection with the exercise of Conversion Rights by it. Any such capital, stamp, issue, registration or transfer taxes or duties or other taxes payable by a Bondholder are referred to as “Bondholder Taxes”. If the Bondholder fails to pay any Bondholder Taxes, the Issuer shall be entitled to tender and pay the same and the Bondholder, as a separate and independent stipulation, covenants to reimburse and indemnify the Issuer in respect of any payment thereof and any interest and penalties payable and any documented costs incurred in respect thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for determining whether any Specified Taxes or Bondholder Taxes are payable or the amount thereof and shall not be responsible or liable for any failure by the Issuer to pay such Specified Taxes or by a Bondholder to pay such Bondholder Taxes.

ADSs to be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights (including any Additional ADSs) will be issued or delivered in uncertificated form through DTC to its direct and indirect participants to the account specified by the relevant Bondholder in the Payment Details, unless at the relevant time the ADSs (including Additional ADSs) are not a participating security in DTC, in which case the Deliverable ADSs (including Additional Deliverable ADSs) will be issued or delivered in certificated form. Where Deliverable ADSs (including Additional Deliverable ADSs) are to be issued or transferred and delivered in certificated form, a certificate in respect thereof will be dispatched by mail free of charge to the relevant Bondholder in accordance with its Payment Details or as it may otherwise direct.

Such ADSs will be issued or transferred and delivered to the relevant Bondholder no later than four London and New York business days following the relevant Conversion Date or, in the case of any Additional ADSs, not later than four London and New York business days following the relevant Reference Date.

A Bondholder exercising a Conversion Right will be required to certify that it will become the beneficial owner of any relevant ADSs received pursuant to the exercise of its Conversion Right and is not an officer, director (or person performing similar functions) or other affiliate of the Issuer or a person acting on behalf of such an affiliate. ADSs issued or transferred and delivered to Bondholders (i) pursuant to an exercise of Conversion Rights (including any Additional ADSs), and (ii) pursuant to an exercise by the Issuer of an ADS Settlement Option (including any Additional Deliverable ADSs), will be immediately freely tradeable under the Securities Act by holders who are not affiliates of the Issuer, and have not been, affiliates of the Issuer within the preceding three months.

Except as otherwise provided in these Conditions or in the Bond Agreement, the Issuer will pay all costs, fees and expenses, including, where relevant, those of the Depositary and any custodian acting on behalf of such Depositary, but excluding any Bondholder Taxes, in connection with the delivery of ADSs on each exercise of Conversion Rights and in relation to each ADS Settlement.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Conditions, a Bondholder exercising Conversion Rights following a Change of Control Conversion Right Amendment as


EMEA 149041286	76

described in Condition 11(b)(vii) will be deemed, for the purposes of these Conditions, to have received the ADSs to be issued or transferred and delivered arising on conversion of its Bonds in the manner provided in these Conditions, and have exchanged such ADSs for the consideration that it would have received therefor if it had exercised its Conversion Right in respect of such Bonds at the time of the occurrence of the relevant Change of Control.

6.11 Cash Alternative Election

(a) Upon exercise of a Conversion Right, the Issuer may make an election (a “Cash Alternative Election”) by giving notice (a “Cash Alternative Election Notice”) to the relevant Bondholder by not later than the date (the “Cash Election Date”) falling four Dealing Days after the relevant Conversion Date (with a copy to the Calculation Agent) to satisfy the exercise of the Conversion Right in respect of the relevant Bonds by (i) making payment, or procuring that payment is made, to the relevant Bondholder of the Cash Alternative Amount in respect of the Cash Settled ADSs in respect of such exercise as specified in the relevant Cash Alternative Election Notice, and (ii) where the Cash Settled ADSs are less than the Reference ADSs in respect of the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, by issuing or transferring and delivering the Physically Settled ADSs, together in any such case with any other amount payable by the Issuer to such Bondholder pursuant to these Conditions in respect of or relating to the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, including any interest payable pursuant to Condition 6.13.

(b) The Cash Alternative Election Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify:

(i) the Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Conversion Date and the number of Reference ADSs in respect of such exercise of Conversion Rights;

(ii) the number of Cash Settled ADSs in respect of the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, by reference to which the Cash Alternative Amount is to be calculated; and

(iii) if the number of Cash Settled ADSs (determined as aforesaid) is less than the number of Reference ADSs in respect of the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, the number of Physically Settled ADSs to be transferred and delivered by the Issuer to the relevant Bondholder in respect of such exercise.

(c) The Issuer will pay the Cash Alternative Amount not later than three New York business days following the last day of the Cash Alternative Calculation Period by transfer to a US Dollar bank account in accordance with the Payment Details.

(d) If there is a Retroactive Adjustment to the Conversion Price following the exercise of Conversion Rights by a Bondholder in circumstances where (x) a Cash Alternative Election is made in respect of such exercise and (y) if any Dealing Day comprised in the Cash Alternative Calculation Period in respect of such exercise of Conversion Rights falls on or after the Applicable Adjustment Reference Date in respect of such Retroactive Adjustment, then the Issuer shall pay to the relevant Bondholder an additional amount (the “Additional Cash Alternative Amount”) calculated in good faith by the Calculation Agent and equal to the Market Price of such number of ADSs (rounded down if necessary to the nearest whole number of ADSs) (if any) as is equal to that by which the number of Cash Settled ADSs would have been increased if the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price had been made and become effective


EMEA 149041286	77

immediately prior to the relevant Conversion Date (such number of Cash Settled ADSs as aforesaid being for this purpose calculated as the product of (x) the Reference ADSs determined for this purpose by reference to such deemed Conversion Price as aforesaid and (y) the Cash Settlement Ratio, in the case of (x) and (y) in respect of such exercise of Conversion Rights), all as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent.

(e) The Issuer will pay the Additional Cash Alternative Amount not later than three London and New York business days following the relevant Reference Date by transfer to a US Dollar bank account in accordance with the Payment Details.

6.12 Ranking and entitlement in respect of ADSs (and Ordinary Shares represented thereby)

ADSs (including any Additional ADSs) issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully paid ADSs in issue on the relevant Conversion Date or, in the case of Additional ADSs, on the relevant Reference Date, and without prejudice to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the relevant holder shall be entitled to all rights, distribution or payments the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls on or after the relevant Conversion Date, or as the case may be, the relevant Reference Date, except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law or as otherwise may be provided in these Conditions. Such ADSs or, as the case may be, Additional ADSs will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to the relevant Conversion Date or, as the case may be, the relevant Reference Date.

Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs issued and/or transferred and delivered to the Bondholders on exercise of Conversion Rights will be fully paid and in all respects will rank pari passu with all other Ordinary Shares in issue on the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of Ordinary Shares represented by Additional ADSs, the relevant Reference Date) (except for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law) and such Ordinary Shares will be entitled to all rights to the same extent as all other fully-paid Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

6.13 Interest on Conversion

No payment or adjustment shall be made on exercise of Conversion Rights for any interest which otherwise would have accrued on the relevant Bonds since the last Interest Payment Date preceding the Conversion Date relating to such Bonds (or, if such Conversion Date falls before the first Interest Payment Date, since the Closing Date).

6.14 Purchase or Redemption of Ordinary Shares or ADSs

The Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer may exercise such rights as they may from time to time enjoy to purchase or redeem or buy back any shares of the Issuer (including Ordinary Shares) or ADSs or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing the same without the consent of the Bondholders provided that it is in compliance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer will obtain U.S. legal advice and take all steps necessary to ensure that the application of the proposed transaction does not violate the provisions of the Securities Act, or any other applicable laws (including, without limitation, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act or the securities laws of the states of the United States).


EMEA 149041286	78

6.15 No Duty to Monitor

The Calculation Agent shall not be under any duty to monitor whether any event or circumstance has happened or exists or may happen or exist and which requires or may require an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price or be responsible or liable to any person for any loss arising from any failure by any of them to do so. The Calculation Agent shall also not be responsible or liable to any person (other than in the case of the Calculation Agent, to the Issuer strictly in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Calculation Agency Agreement) for any determination as to whether or not an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required or should be made or for any determination or calculation of any such adjustment.

6.16 Consolidation, Amalgamation or Merger

Without prejudice to Condition 6.2(j), in the case of any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Issuer with any other corporation (other than constituting a Change of Control or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Issuer is the continuing corporation) (a “Successor in Business”), the Issuer will forthwith give notice thereof to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 of such event and will take such steps as shall be required, subject to applicable law and as provided in Condition 15 (and including the execution of a deed supplemental to or amending the Bond Agreement):

(a) to ensure that the Successor in Business is substituted in place of the Issuer as the principal debtor under the Bonds and the Bond Agreement;

(b) to ensure that each Bond then outstanding will (during the period in which Conversion Rights may be exercised) be convertible into equity share capital (or similar (including without limitation depositary or other receipts or certificates representing equity share capital)) of the Successor in Business, on such basis and with a Conversion Price (subject to adjustment as provided in these Conditions) economically equivalent to the Conversion Price existing immediately prior to the implementation of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, as determined in good faith by an Independent Adviser (each a “Conversion Right Transfer”); and

(c) to ensure that the Bond Agreement (as so amended or supplemented if applicable) and the Conditions provide at least the same or equivalent powers, protections, rights and benefits to the Bondholders following the implementation of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger as they provided to the Bondholders prior to the implementation of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, mutatis mutandis.

The satisfaction of the requirements set out above in this Condition 6.16 by the Issuer is herein referred to as a “Permitted Cessation of Business”. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions, a Permitted Cessation of Business shall not result in a breach of undertaking, constitute an Event of Default or otherwise result in any breach of any provision of these Conditions or the Bond Agreement. Following the occurrence of a Permitted Cessation of Business, references in these Conditions and the Bond Documents to the “Issuer” will be construed as references to the relevant Successor in Business (but without prejudice to the provisions of the Calculation Agency Agreement).

At the request of the Issuer, but subject to the Issuer’s compliance with the provisions of this Condition 6.16, the Bondholders shall (at the expense of the Issuer, including payment by the Issuer of the reasonably incurred fees of Bondholders’ legal counsel in relation to such Conversion Right Transfer) concur with the Issuer in effecting any substitution under subparagraph (a) above and Conversion Right Transfer (including, inter alia, the execution


EMEA 149041286	79

of a deed supplemental to or amending the Bond Agreement), provided that the Bondholders shall not be obliged so to concur if in the opinion of the Bondholders doing so would impose more onerous obligations upon any of them or expose any of them to any additional duties, responsibilities or liabilities in any way.

If, following consultation with the Calculation Agent, any doubt shall arise (or upon the request to the Issuer of the Majority Bondholders) as to how determinations, calculations or adjustments which are specifically required to be performed by the Calculation Agent in these Conditions should be performed following any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, a written opinion of an Independent Adviser in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on the Successor in Business, the Issuer, the Bondholders, the Calculation Agent and all other parties, save in the case of manifest error.

The above provisions of this Condition 6.16 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any subsequent consolidations, amalgamation or mergers.

7. Redemption and Purchase

7.1 Mandatory Redemption by Amortisation

(a) Scheduled Amortisation Payments

Subject to Condition 7.1(c) below, on the date falling three months after the Closing Date and on each three month anniversary thereof ending on (and including) the Final Maturity Date (each such date, a “Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date”, as specified in the Initial Determinations Notice, and each such date as may become subject to deferral or advancement as provided in Condition 7.1(c), an “Amortisation Payment Date”), each Bond outstanding (except for any Bond in respect of which Conversion Rights have been exercised) will be redeemed in instalments of $10,000 per Bond (each an “Amortised Payment Amount”) together with interest accrued and unpaid to (but excluding) the relevant Amortisation Payment Date as provided in Condition 5.

(b) Deemed Principal ADS Settlement Option Exercise

In respect of the Amortisation Payment Amount due on each Amortisation Payment Date, the Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised its option (the “Principal ADS Settlement Option”) to make payment of the relevant Amortised Payment Amount by the issue or transfer and delivery of Deliverable ADSs (and, if applicable, Additional Deliverable ADSs) to Bondholders with respect to all, and not some only, of the Bonds subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Condition 9.9, except if (i) the Issuer shall elect (in its sole discretion), by giving notice thereof (a “Principal Cash Settlement Option Notice”) (which notice shall be irrevocable) to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 at least two Notice Business Days prior to such Amortisation Payment Date, to satisfy its obligation to make payment on such Amortisation Payment Date pursuant to this Condition 7.1 by paying the Amortised Payment Amount in cash, or (ii) an ADS Settlement Liquidity Event is occurring or occurs prior to the issue or transfer and delivery of the relevant Deliverable ADSs (in which case of (i) or (ii), the Amortised Payment Amount shall be paid by the Issuer in cash). Upon each redemption of an Amortised Payment Amount on an Amortisation Payment Date the principal amount of each Bond shall be reduced accordingly on such Amortisation Payment Date.


EMEA 149041286	80

(i) The Majority Bondholders may, by giving notice thereof to the Issuer at least three Notice Business Days prior to a Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date, exercise the right of the Bondholders to defer the Amortised Payment Amount in respect of such Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date (subject, in the case of any deferral of the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount, to the provisions of paragraph (v)(A) below) and each Bond outstanding at such time so that such payment shall not be payable on its Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date and instead shall become payable on such subsequent Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date as is specified in such notice (an “Amortised Payment Deferral”). The Majority Bondholders may exercise their right to defer Amortised Payment Amounts under this Condition 7.1(c)(i) in respect of a maximum of two Scheduled Amortisation Payment Dates during the term of the Bonds, provided that any deferral of the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount shall not be counted for the purposes of the foregoing maximum limitation.

(ii) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, the Majority Bondholders may, by giving not less than three Notice Business Days’ notice to the Issuer, exercise their right to bring forward the payment of some or all future Amortised Payment Amount(s) (subject, in the case of the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount, to the provisions of paragraph (v)(B) below) such that the relevant Amortised Payment Amount(s) (which may include any Amortised Payment Amount that has been subject to an Amortised Payment Deferral) in relation to:

(1) the following Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date(s); or

(2) (except in the case of the Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date on which the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount is payable, subject to (I) the Issuer’s directors having sufficient authority to allot, free from pre-emptive rights, in respect of Ordinary Shares to enable it to exercise its ADS Settlement Option in respect of such Amortised Payment Advancement, (II) (where the Issuer exercises its ADS Settlement Option in respect of such Amortised Payment Advancement) no ADS Settlement Liquidity Event occurring pursuant to paragraph (vi) of the definition thereof in connection with such exercise, failing which such Amortised Payment Advancement shall be null and void, and (III) the product of (x) 85 per cent., and (y) the Closing Price of an ADS on the Dealing Day immediately preceding the date of delivery of any such notice resulting in an amount that is not lower than the Relevant ADS Settlement Price in respect of the most recent Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date prior to the relevant Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date that is at least three months prior to the date of delivery of such notice, failing which such Amortised Payment Advancement shall be null and void) any other Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date(s),

in each case falling after the date of such notice (and the applicable Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date(s) referred to in (1) or, as the case may be, (2) above being specified in such notice), which shall become


EMEA 149041286	81

payable on the date specified in such notice (an “Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date”, which shall be not earlier than three Notice Business Days following the date of such notice) (an “Amortised Payment Advancement”). In relation to an Amortised Payment Advancement, except if (A) the Issuer shall elect (in its sole discretion in accordance with Condition 7.1(b)) to satisfy its obligation to make payment on such Amortisation Payment Date by paying the Amortised Payment Amount in cash (in accordance with Condition 7.1(b)) or (B) an ADS Settlement Liquidity Event is occurring or occurs prior to the issue or transfer and delivery of the relevant Deliverable ADSs (in which case, in the case of (A) or (B) the Amortised Payment Amount shall be paid by the Issuer in cash), then in respect of the Principal ADS Settlement Option the calculation of the relevant Deliverable ADSs which shall be issued or delivered to the Bondholders shall be determined as if such Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date was the immediately preceding Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date (or, in the case of an Amortised Payment Advancement of the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount, as if such Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date was the date determined in accordance with paragraph (iv) of the definition of “ADSSO Reference Date”) (and if there shall have occurred an event or circumstance requiring an adjustment to the Reference Conversion Price in accordance with Condition 6 after the Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date immediately preceding the relevant Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date (or, in the case of an Amortised Payment Advancement of the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount, the date determined in accordance with paragraph (iv) of the definition of “ADSSO Reference Date”), then such adjustment to the Relevant ADS Settlement Price as may be required shall be determined by the Calculation Agent (if the Calculation Agent determines that it is able to make such determination) or (in any other case) by an Independent Adviser in such other manner as it shall consider to be appropriate to give the intended result) and in accordance with Condition 9.9.

(iii) The Majority Bondholders’ right to require Amortised Payment Advancements shall be subject to the following: (A) there shall be no Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date in the period from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the first anniversary of the Closing Date; (B) no more than two Accelerated Amortisation Payment Dates may occur in any 12-month period; and (C) no more than one Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date may occur in any 3-month period; provided that (B) and (C) shall not apply to any Amortised Payment Advancement in relation to an Amortised Payment Amount which was the subject of an Amortised Payment Deferral (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Amortised Payment Advancement in relation to the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount if such April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount was the subject of an Amortised Payment Deferral).

(iv) Nothing in this Condition 7.1(c) shall affect the rights of the Bondholders to exercise Conversion Rights in respect of any Bonds; provided that upon the exercise of any Conversion Right whilst any Amortised Payment Amount has been the subject of an Amortised Payment Deferral (except for the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount, in respect of which the Issuer shall have no such rights as contemplated by this paragraph (iv)) and has not at the time of the relevant Conversion Date been paid, then the Issuer shall have the


EMEA 149041286	82

right, upon giving notice to the relevant Bondholder not later than two Notice Business Days after the relevant Conversion Date, to pay such deferred Amortised Payment Amount in cash and such principal amount shall not be subject to conversion in the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights and instead shall be paid in cash to the relevant Bondholder no later than five New York business days after the relevant Conversion Date.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Conditions:

(A) the Majority Bondholders may exercise the right of the Bondholders to defer on one or more occasions the Amortised Payment Amount that was (as at the Closing Date) scheduled to be redeemed on the Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date falling on 7 April 2024 (the “April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount”) so that such payment shall not be payable on its Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date and instead shall become payable on such subsequent Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date as is specified in the notice of Amortised Payment Deferral delivered in accordance with paragraph (i) above; and

(B) the Majority Bondholders may exercise their right at any time to bring forward on one or more occasions the payment of the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount (irrespective of the scheduled or deferred payment date in respect of that amount) such that the relevant amount shall become payable on the Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date notified to the Issuer in accordance with paragraph (ii) above.

(d) No other redemption

Unless previously purchased and cancelled, redeemed or converted as herein provided, the Bonds will be redeemed at their then outstanding principal amount on the Final Maturity Date. Other than as provided in this Condition 7.1, the Bonds may only be redeemed at the option of the Issuer prior to the Final Maturity Date in accordance with Condition 7.3 and may only be redeemed by Bondholders prior to the Final Maturity Date in accordance with Condition 7.2.

7.2 Redemption at the Option of Bondholders

Following the occurrence of a Relevant Event, each Bondholder will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem all, but not some only, of its Bonds on the Relevant Event Put Date at their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest up to (but excluding) the Relevant Event Put Date. To exercise such right, the holder of the relevant Bond must give notice thereof to the Issuer at any time during the Relevant Event Period.

The “Relevant Event Put Date” shall be the fourteenth London and New York business day after the expiry of the Relevant Event Period.

Payment in respect of any such Bond shall be made in accordance with Condition 8.

Any notice given by a Bondholder to exercise its put right pursuant to this Condition 7.2, once delivered, shall be irrevocable and the Issuer shall redeem all Bonds the subject of such notices delivered as aforesaid on the Relevant Event Put Date.


EMEA 149041286	83

7.3 Purchase

Subject to the requirements (if any) of any stock exchange on which the Bonds may be admitted to listing and trading at the relevant time and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer may at any time purchase any Bonds in the open market or otherwise at any price. Bonds purchased by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and may not be reissued or re-sold.

7.4 Cancellation

All Bonds which are redeemed or in respect of which Conversion Rights are exercised will be cancelled and may not be reissued or resold.

8. Taxation

All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Bonds will be made free and clear of and be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction, unless deduction or withholding of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required to be made by law (a “Tax Withholding”).

If any such Tax Withholding is required to be made in respect of taxation arising in the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (or any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer may be domiciled or resident or to whose taxing jurisdiction it may be generally subject) (“Tax Jurisdiction”), the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the Bondholders of the amounts which would have been received by them had no such Tax Withholding been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable on any Bond:

(a) to a Bondholder (or to a third party on behalf of a Bondholder) which is subject to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Bond by reason of having some connection with the Tax Jurisdiction otherwise than merely by holding the Bond or by the receipt of amounts in respect of the Bond; or

(b) where the Bondholder would have been able lawfully to avoid (but has not so avoided) such withholding or deduction by complying, or (if it is within the Bondholder’s control to do so) procuring that any person who is associated or connected with the Bondholder for the purposes of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges complies, with any statutory requirement or by making, or (if it is within the Bondholder’s control to do so) procuring that any such person makes, a declaration of non-residence or any other claim for exemption to any tax authority.

References in these Conditions to principal and/or interest and/or any other amounts payable in respect of the Bonds shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts which may be payable under this Condition.

Where a Tax Withholding is imposed or levied by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, the exclusions in the second paragraph of this Condition 8 shall only apply if the Bonds have been (and remain) listed on any recognised stock exchange (within the meaning of Section 1005 of ITA 2007) or admitted to trading on a “multilateral trading facility” operated by a UK or EEA-regulated recognised stock exchange (within the meaning of Sections 987 and 1005 of the ITA 2007).

(a) Conditions to exercise

The Issuer may elect to satisfy its obligation to pay cash interest on the Bonds on any Interest Payment Date pursuant to Condition 5.1(a) or to redeem in cash a principal amount of the Bonds in an Amortised Payment Amount on any Amortisation Payment Date pursuant to Condition 7.1(a) by the issue or transfer and delivery of Deliverable ADSs (and, if applicable, Additional Deliverable ADSs) to Bondholders, by exercising its Interest ADS Settlement Option or its Principal ADS Settlement Option, as applicable, (each of the Interest ADS Settlement Option and the Principal ADS Settlement Option, an “ADS Settlement Option” in respect of the relevant Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date, as applicable) with respect to all, but not some only, of the Bonds on the relevant Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date, as applicable, provided that if an ADS Settlement Liquidity Event shall have occurred on any date falling in the period from (and including) the Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date (as applicable) immediately preceding the relevant ADSSO Reference Date (or, if none, from (and including) the Closing Date) to (and including) the date immediately preceding the date on which the Deliverable ADSs are issued and/or transferred and delivered to Bondholders, then any such exercise of the ADS Settlement Option shall be null and void and such interest or principal amount shall be payable in cash.

An “ADS Settlement Liquidity Event” shall have occurred on any date if one or more of the following conditions is met:

(i) the ADSs are not listed and admitted to trading on a Qualifying US Market as at such date, or are suspended from trading on such market (provided that trading of the ADSs shall not be considered to be suspended on any day on which a general suspension of trading on such market has occurred) on such date;

(b) ADS Settlement

Where the ADS Settlement Option has been exercised, the Issuer shall, in lieu of paying cash in respect of interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date or in respect of Amortised Payment Amount on the relevant Amortisation Payment Date, as applicable, effect such payment or partial redemption in respect of each Bond by issuing and/or transferring and delivering the Deliverable ADSs to the Bondholders not later than four London and New York business days following such ADSSO Reference Date (or, in respect of Amortised Payment Amount on an Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date, not later than four London and New York business days following such Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date), and, if applicable, issuing and/or transferring and delivering the Additional Deliverable ADSs not later than four London and New York business days following the relevant Reference Date (each, a “ADS Settlement”).

Fractions of ADSs will not be issued or transferred or delivered pursuant to this Condition 9.9 and no cash payment will be made in lieu thereof. However, to the extent that the ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered pursuant to this Condition 9.9 are to be registered in the same name, the number of ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered in respect thereof shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Bonds, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent.

Promptly following the determination of the Relevant ADS Settlement Price and the number of Deliverable ADSs, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16.

For the purposes of these Conditions:

“Offer Period” means (i) any period commencing on the date of first public announcement of an offer or tender (howsoever described) by any person or persons in respect of all or a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and ending on the date that offer or tender ceases to be open for acceptance or, if earlier, on which that offer or tender lapses or terminates or is withdrawn or (ii) any period commencing on the date of first public announcement of a Scheme of Arrangement relating to the acquisition of all or a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and ending on the date such Scheme of Arrangement is or becomes effective or, if earlier, the date such Scheme of Arrangement is cancelled or terminated or (iii) the period during which the Issuer is stated as being in an offer period on the Takeover Panel’s Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel’s website.

“Deliverable ADSs” means, in respect of any Bond and any Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date, such number of ADSs (unrounded) determined in


EMEA 149041286	87

good faith by the Calculation Agent by dividing the relevant interest amount in respect of such Bond (which would otherwise be payable in cash) on such Interest Payment Date or the relevant Amortised Payment Amount in respect of such Bond (which would otherwise be payable in cash) on such Amortisation Payment Date, as applicable, by the Relevant ADS Settlement Price in respect of such Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date (as applicable).

“Relevant ADS Settlement Price” means, in respect of any ADSSO Reference Date, the product (rounded to the nearest whole multiple of $0.0001 (with $0.00005 being rounded upwards) of (i) 85 per cent. and (ii) the US Dollar price per ADS which is the lower of:

(i) the 3-Day ADSSO Average Market Price in respect of such ADSSO Reference Date;

(ii) the 5-Day ADSSO Average Market Price in respect of such ADSSO Reference Date;

(iii) the Volume Weighted Average Price of an ADS (translated if necessary into US Dollars at the Prevailing Rate) on such ADSSO Reference Date; and

as determined by the Calculation Agent.

“ADSSO Reference Date” means:

(i) in respect of any ADS Settlement, the relevant Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date in respect of which the ADS Settlement Option is exercised;

(ii) in the case of ADS Settlement of any Amortisation Payment Amount which is subject to an Amortised Payment Deferral, the relevant Amortisation Payment Date to which such payment has been deferred;

(iii) in the case of ADS Settlement of any Amortisation Payment Amount (other than the April 2024 Amortised Payment Amount if such April 2024 Amortised Payment was previously the subject of an Amortised Payment Deferral) which is subject to an Amortised Payment Advancement (including any Amortisation Payment Amount which was previously subject to an Amortised Payment Deferral), the Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date immediately preceding the relevant Accelerated Amortisation Payment Date; and


EMEA 149041286	88

“3-Day ADSSO Average Market Price” and “5-Day ADSSO Average Market Price” each means, in respect of any ADSSO Reference Date, the arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Price of an ADS (translated if necessary into US Dollars at the Prevailing Rate) on each Dealing Day in the Average Market Price Observation Period in respect of such 3-Day ADSSO Average Market Price or 5-Day ADSSO Average Market Price, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) if any such Dealing Day falls on or after (A) the Applicable Adjustment Reference Date in respect of any adjustment required to be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to these Conditions (other than an adjustment pursuant to Condition 6.4 or Condition 6.5) and such adjustment is an ADS Settlement Retroactive Adjustment or (B) the Ex-Date in respect of any Dividend (or other entitlement) which the ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered pursuant to this Condition 9.9 are entitled to, then the Volume Weighted Average Price of an ADS on such Dealing Day shall (in the case of (A)) be divided by the adjustment factor (as determined pursuant to these Conditions) applied to the Conversion Price in respect of such adjustment or (in the case of (B)) increased by amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Dividend (or other entitlement) as at such Ex-Date as aforesaid;

(ii) if any such Dealing Day falls before the Applicable Adjustment Reference Date in respect of any adjustment required to be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to these Conditions (other than an adjustment pursuant to Condition 6.4 or Condition 6.5) and such adjustment is in effect on such ADSSO Reference Date, then the Volume Weighted Average Price on such Dealing Day shall be multiplied by the adjustment factor (as determined pursuant to these Conditions) applied to the Conversion Price in respect of such adjustment; and

(iii) if any doubt shall arise as to the calculation of the 3-Day ADSSO Average Market Price or 5-Day ADSSO Average Market Price, as the case may be, or if the 3-Day ADSSO Average Market Price or 5-Day ADSSO Average Market Price, as the case may be, cannot be determined as provided above, the 3-Day ADSSO Average Market Price or 5-Day ADSSO Average Market Price, as the case may be, shall be equal to such price as is determined in such other manner as an Independent Adviser shall consider to be appropriate to give the intended result.

(d) ADS Settlement Option Annulment

If either (a) the Issuer does not exercise its ADS Settlement Option (including electing to make the relevant payments in cash in accordance with Condition 5.1(b) or Condition 7.1(b)) or (b) the Issuer does exercise its ADS Settlement Option but an ADS Settlement Liquidity Event occurs thereafter but on or prior to the issue or transfer and delivery of the Deliverable ADSs (such circumstances being referred to


EMEA 149041286	89

as an “ADS Settlement Option Annulment”), the relevant interest amount or Amortised Payment Amount shall be paid in cash in accordance with the relevant provisions of Condition 5.1(a) or Condition 7.1(a), as applicable, and payment in respect thereof shall be made in accordance with this Condition 9.

(e) Provisions relating to the ADS Settlement Option

If the Issuer elects to exercise the ADS Settlement Option in respect of any ADSSO Reference Date, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs issued and/or transferred and delivered to the Bondholders pursuant to this Condition 9.9 will be fully paid and in all respects will rank pari passu with all other Ordinary Shares in issue on the relevant ADSSO Reference Date (or, in the case of Ordinary Shares represented by Additional Deliverable ADSs, the relevant Reference Date) (except for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law) and such Ordinary Shares will be entitled to all rights to the same extent as all other fully-paid Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. ADSs (including any Additional Deliverable ADSs) issued and/or transferred and delivered pursuant to this Condition 9.9 will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the other ADSs in issue on the such ADSSO Reference Date (or, in the case of Additional Deliverable ADSs, on the relevant Reference Date) (except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law) and without prejudice to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the relevant Bondholder shall be treated as the holder thereof with effect from, and be entitled to all rights, distribution, payments and entitlements relating to such ADSs in respect of which the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement in respect of the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs on or after the ADSSO Reference Date, or as the case may be, the relevant Reference Date. Such Deliverable ADSs or, as the case may be, Additional Deliverable ADSs will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments relating to such ADSs in respect of which the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement in respect of the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs for which falls prior to such ADSSO Reference Date or, as the case may be, the relevant Reference Date.

(ii) Deliverable ADSs (including any Additional Deliverable ADSs) issued or transferred and delivered in connection with an ADS Settlement Option will be immediately freely tradeable under the Securities Act by holders who are not affiliates of the Issuer, and have not been, affiliates of the Issuer within the preceding three months.

(vii) Where Deliverable ADSs are to be issued or transferred and delivered in certificated form, a certificate in respect thereof will be dispatched by mail free of charge to the relevant Bondholder in accordance with its Payment Details or as it may otherwise direct.

(viii) If such ADSSO Reference Date shall be (A) after the record date in respect of any consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or sub-division as is mentioned in Condition 6.2(a), or after the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for any such issue, distribution, grant or offer (as the case may be) as is mentioned in Condition 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e) or 6.2(i), or after the date of the first public announcement of the terms of any such issue or grant as is mentioned in Condition 6.2(f) and 6.2(g) or of the terms of any such modification as is mentioned in Condition 6.2(h); and (B) before the relevant adjustment becomes effective under Condition 6.2 (such adjustment, an “ADS Settlement Retroactive Adjustment”), then the Issuer shall procure that there shall be issued and/or transferred and delivered to the relevant Bondholder, in accordance with the Payment Details, such additional number of ADSs (if any) (the “Additional Deliverable ADSs”) as, together with the ADSs issued or to be transferred and delivered in lieu of paying cash in respect of the relevant interest amount or Amortised Payment Amount due on such ADSSO Reference Date, is equal to the number of Deliverable ADSs which would have been so required to be issued or delivered in respect of such amount on such ADSSO Reference Date if the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price had been made and become effective immediately prior to such ADSSO Reference Date, all as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent provided that if in the case of Condition 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e) or 6.2(i) the relevant Bondholder shall be entitled to receive the relevant Ordinary Shares


EMEA 149041286	91

(including without limitation Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), Dividends or other Securities in respect of the ADSs to be issued and/or transferred and delivered to it, then no such ADS Settlement Retroactive Adjustment shall be made in relation to the relevant event and the relevant Bondholder shall not be entitled to receive Additional Deliverable ADSs in relation thereto.

10. Events of Default

If any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) occurs and is continuing, the holders of at least one-quarter in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding may give notice in writing to the Issuer that the Bonds are, and upon such notice the Bonds shall accordingly immediately become, without further action or formality, due and repayable at the Relevant Amount together with accrued interest (if any) to (but excluding) the date of payment:

(a) default for 14 days in the payment when due of any interest or any other amounts (other than principal or any Cash Alternative Amount) with respect to the Bonds;

(b) default for seven days in the payment when due of the principal of the Bonds or any Cash Alternative Amount (on an Amortisation Payment Date, at final maturity, upon redemption or otherwise);

(c) the Issuer fails to deliver ADSs following any exercise of Conversion Rights or ADS Settlement Option and such failure continues for seven days;

(d) the Issuer does not perform or comply with any one or more of its other obligations in the Bonds or the Bond Documents or if any event occurs or any action is taken or failed to be taken which is (or but for the provisions of any applicable law would be) a breach of any such obligation, and which default or breach is incapable of remedy or is not remedied within 30 days after notice of such default or breach shall have been received by the Issuer from any Bondholder requiring the same to be remedied and in such case such breach would reasonably likely to be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Bondholders;

(e) it becomes unlawful for the Issuer to perform or comply with any one or more of its obligations under any of the Bonds or the Bond Documents and in such case such breach would be reasonably likely to be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Bondholders;

(f) (i) any other present or future Financial Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Material Subsidiaries becomes due and payable prior to its stated maturity by reason of any event of default or the like (howsoever described), or

(ii) any such Financial Indebtedness is not paid when due or, as the case may be, within any originally applicable grace period, or

(iii) the Issuer or any of its Material Subsidiaries fails to pay when due any amount payable by it under any present or future Financial Indebtedness Guarantee,

provided that the aggregate amount of the relevant Financial Indebtedness and/or Financial Indebtedness Guarantee in respect of which one or more of the events


EMEA 149041286	92

mentioned above in this Condition 10(f) have occurred equals or exceeds 3 per cent. of the total gross consolidated assets of the Group (calculated by reference to the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer);

(g) a distress, attachment, execution or other legal process is levied, enforced or sued out on or against the property, assets or revenues of the Issuer or any of its Material Subsidiaries with a value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $5 million, or its equivalent and is not discharged within 30 days;

(h) any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance, present or future, created or assumed by the Issuer or any of its Material Subsidiaries, over assets with a value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $5 million, or its equivalent, becomes enforceable and any step is taken to enforce it (including the taking of possession or the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator, manager or other similar person) and is not discharged within 30 days;

(i) the Issuer or any of its Material Subsidiaries is (or is determined by law or a court to be) insolvent or bankrupt or unable to pay its debts, stops, suspends or threatens to stop or suspend payment of all or a material part of (or a material part of a particular type of) its debts, proposes or makes a general assignment or an arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of the relevant creditors in respect of any of such debts or a moratorium is agreed or declared or comes into effect in respect of or affecting all or any part of (or of a particular type of) the debts of the Issuer or any of its Material Subsidiaries, except for the purpose of and followed by a reconstruction, amalgamation, reorganisation, merger or consolidation (i) on terms approved by the Majority Bondholders, or (ii) in the case of a Material Subsidiary, whereby the undertaking and assets of the Material Subsidiary are transferred to or otherwise vested in the Issuer or another of its Subsidiaries; or

For the purposes of this Condition 10, “Relevant Amount” means, in respect of the principal amount of each Bond which is outstanding (as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Condition 7.1), an amount equal to such principal amount, save that if the relevant Event of Default occurs as a result of or in connection with a failure by the Issuer to comply with any of its obligations in relation to the exercise of Conversion Rights or ADS Settlement Option (except in de minimis respects), it means an amount in cash equal to the higher of:

(a) the Fair Market Value (determined as at the relevant Conversion Date, Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date referred to below, as applicable) of the ADSs per Bond and any other amounts which would have been payable and/or deliverable on conversion or in respect of such ADS Settlement, in respect of such Bond had the date of such declaration of the relevant Event of Default been the


EMEA 149041286	93

Conversion Date relating to such exercise of Conversion Rights or the relevant Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date in respect of which such ADS Settlement Option was exercised (as applicable); and

(b) such principal amount.

Following an Event of Default and the Bondholders having given notice to the Issuer that the Bonds are due and payable, references in these Conditions and the Bond Agreement to the principal amount of the Bonds shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include the Relevant Amount.

11. Undertakings

The Issuer will, save with the approval of the holders of at least 90 per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding:

(a) not issue or pay up any Securities, in either case by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, other than:

(i) pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement involving a reduction and cancellation of Ordinary Shares and the issue to Shareholders of an equal number of Ordinary Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves; or

(ii) pursuant to or in connection with a Newco Scheme; or

(iii) by the issue of fully paid Ordinary Shares or other Securities to Shareholders and other holders of shares in the capital of the Issuer which by their terms entitle the holders thereof to receive Ordinary Shares or other Securities on a capitalisation of profits or reserves; or

(iv) by the issue of fully paid Ordinary Shares, issued wholly, ignoring fractional entitlements, in lieu of the whole or part of a Dividend in cash; or

(v) by the issue of Ordinary Shares or any equity share capital to, or for the benefit of, employees or former employees, director or executive holding or formerly holding executive office (including directors holding or formerly holding executive office or non-executive office, consultants or former consultants or the personal service company of any such person) or their spouses or relatives, in each case of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any associated company or to a trustee or nominee to be held for the benefit of any such person, in any such case pursuant to an employee, contractor, director or executive share or option or incentive scheme whether for all employees, contractors, directors or executives or any one or more of them

((i) to (v) above each being a “Permitted Issue”), unless, in any such case, the same constitutes a Dividend or otherwise falls to be taken into account for a determination as to whether an adjustment is to be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to Condition 6.2, regardless of whether in fact an adjustment falls to be made in respect of the relevant event (or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.8 relating to roundings and minimum adjustments or the carry forward of adjustments, give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price);

(b) not modify the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares with respect to voting, dividends or liquidation nor issue any other class of equity share capital carrying any


EMEA 149041286	94

rights which are more favourable than the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares but so that nothing in this Condition 11(b) shall prevent:

(i) any consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision of the Ordinary Shares; or

(ii) any modification of such rights which is not, in the opinion of an Independent Adviser acting in good faith, materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Bonds; or

(iii) any issue of equity share capital where the issue of such equity share capital results, or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.8 relating to roundings and minimum adjustments or the carry forward of adjustments or Condition 6.2(l) or, where comprising Ordinary Shares, the fact that the consideration per Ordinary Share receivable therefor is at least 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Ordinary Share at the relevant time for determination thereof pursuant to the relevant provisions of Condition 6.2, otherwise result, in an adjustment to the Conversion Price; or

(iv) without prejudice to any rule of law or legislation (including regulations made under Sections 783, 784(3), 785 and 788 of the Companies Act or any other provision of that or any other legislation), the conversion of Ordinary Shares into, or the issue of any Ordinary Shares in, uncertificated form (or the conversion of Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form to certificated form) or the amendment of the Articles of Association of the Issuer to enable title to securities (including Ordinary Shares) to be evidenced and transferred without a written instrument or any other alteration to the Articles of Association of the Issuer made in connection with the matters described in this Condition 11(b) or which is supplemental or incidental to any of the foregoing (including any amendment made to enable or facilitate procedures relating to such matters and any amendment dealing with the rights and obligations of holders of Securities, including Ordinary Shares, dealt with under such procedures); or

(v) any issue of equity share capital or modification of rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares, where prior thereto the Issuer shall have instructed an Independent Adviser to determine what (if any) adjustments should be made to the Conversion Price as being fair and reasonable to take account thereof and such Independent Adviser shall have determined in good faith either that no adjustment is required or that an adjustment resulting in a decrease in the Conversion Price is required and, if so, the new Conversion Price as a result thereof and the basis upon which such adjustment is to be made and, in any such case, the date on which the adjustment shall take effect (and so that the adjustment shall be made and shall take effect accordingly); or

(vi) any alteration to the Articles of Association made in connection with the matters described in this Condition 11 or which is supplemental or incidental to any of the foregoing (including any amendment made to enable or facilitate procedures relating to such matters and any amendment dealing with the rights and obligations of holders of Securities, including Ordinary Shares, dealt with under such procedures); or

(vii) any amendment of the Articles of Association of the Issuer following or in connection with a Change of Control to ensure that any Bondholder


EMEA 149041286	95

exercising Conversion Rights where the Conversion Date falls on or after the occurrence of a Change of Control will receive, in whatever manner, the same consideration for the Ordinary Shares arising on such exercise as it would have received in respect of any Ordinary Shares had such Ordinary Shares been entitled to participate in the relevant Scheme of Arrangement or to have been submitted into, and accepted pursuant to, the relevant offer or tender (a “Change of Control Conversion Right Amendment”); or

(viii) a Permitted Issue;

(c) except as part of or in connection with or pursuant to any employee, contractor, director or executive share or option or incentive scheme (whether for all employees, contractors, directors or executives or any one or more of them), procure that no Securities which were originally issued (whether issued by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or procured by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer to be issued or issued by any other person pursuant to any arrangement with the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer) without rights to convert into, or exchange or subscribe for, Ordinary Shares (or ADSs or other depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Ordinary Shares) shall subsequently be granted such rights exercisable at a consideration per Ordinary Share which is less than 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Ordinary Share at the relevant time for determination thereof pursuant to the relevant provisions of Condition 6.2 unless the same gives rise (or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.8 relating to roundings and minimum adjustments or the carry forward of adjustments or Condition 6.2(l), give rise) to an adjustment to the Conversion Price and that at no time shall there be in issue Ordinary Shares of differing nominal values, save where such Ordinary Shares have the same economic rights;

(d) not make any issue, grant or distribution or take or omit to take any other action if the effect thereof would be that, on the exercise of Conversion Rights, Ordinary Shares to be issued and represented by ADSs could not, under any applicable law then in effect, be legally issued as fully paid;

(e) not reduce its issued share capital, share premium account, or any uncalled liability in respect thereof, or any non-distributable reserves, except:

(i) pursuant to the terms of issue of the relevant share capital; or

(ii) by means of a purchase or redemption of share capital of the Issuer to the extent permitted by applicable law; or

(iii) where the reduction does not involve any distribution of assets to Shareholders; or

(iv) solely in relation to a change in the currency in which the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares is expressed; or

(v) to create distributable reserves; or

(vi) pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement involving a reduction and cancellation of Ordinary Shares and the issue to Shareholders of an equal number of Ordinary Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves; or

(vii) as provided in Condition 11(a)(i); or

(viii) pursuant to a Newco Scheme; or


EMEA 149041286	96

(ix) by way of transfer to reserves as permitted under applicable law; or

(x) where the reduction is permitted by applicable law and the Bondholders are advised by an Independent Adviser, acting as an expert and in good faith, that in its opinion the interests of the Bondholders will not be materially prejudiced by such reduction; or

(xi) where the reduction is permitted by applicable law and results (or, in the case of a reduction in connection with a Change of Control, will result) in (or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.8 relating to roundings or the carry forward of adjustments, result in) an adjustment to the Conversion Price or is (or, in the case of a reduction in connection with a Change of Control, will be) otherwise taken into account for the purposes of determining whether such an adjustment should be made; or

(xii) as permitted by Section 610 (2) and (3) of the Companies Act; or

(xiii) a reduction of its share premium account to facilitate the writing off of goodwill arising on consolidation which requires the confirmation of the High Court and which does not involve the return, either directly or indirectly, of an amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Issuer and in respect of which the Issuer shall have tendered to the High Court such undertaking as it may require prohibiting, so long as any of the Bonds remains outstanding, the distribution (except by way of capitalisation issue) of any reserve which may arise in the books of the Issuer as a result of such reduction;

provided that, without prejudice to the other provisions of these Conditions, the Issuer may exercise such rights as it may from time to time be entitled pursuant to applicable law to purchase, redeem or buy back its Ordinary Shares and any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Ordinary Shares without the consent of Bondholders;

(f) if any offer is made to all (or as nearly as may be practicable all) Shareholders (or all (or as nearly as may be practicable all) Shareholders other than the offeror and/or any associates (as defined in Section 988(1) of the Companies Act) of the offeror to acquire the whole or any part of the issued Ordinary Shares or the ADSs, or if any person proposes a scheme with regard to such acquisition (other than a Newco Scheme), give notice of such offer or scheme to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 at the same time as any notice thereof is sent to the Shareholders (or as soon as practicable thereafter) that details concerning such offer or scheme may be obtained from the Issuer and, where such an offer or scheme has been recommended by the board of directors of the Issuer, or where such an offer has become or been declared unconditional in all respects or such scheme has become effective, use all reasonable endeavours to procure that a like offer or scheme is extended to Bondholders and to the holders of any ADSs issued during the period of the offer or scheme arising out of the exercise of the Conversion Rights pursuant to these Conditions (which like offer or scheme to Bondholders shall entitle Bondholders to receive the same type and amount of consideration they would have received had they held the number of ADSs to which such Bondholders would be entitled assuming Bondholders were to exercise their Conversion Rights in the relevant Change of Control Period), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this undertaking of the Issuer shall not restrict or prevent the Issuer or its board of directors from co-operating in relation to, or recommending to its shareholders the


EMEA 149041286	97

acceptance of, such a takeover bid in circumstances where (despite the Issuer using all reasonable endeavours as set out above) the bidder does not extend to the Bondholders (or any of them) an offer or proposal as set out above;

(g) in the event of a Newco Scheme, take (or shall procure that there is taken) all necessary action to ensure that (to the satisfaction of the Bondholders) immediately after completion of the Scheme of Arrangement:

(i) at the Issuer’s option, either (a) Newco is substituted under the Bonds and the Bond Documents as principal obligor in place of the Issuer (with the Issuer providing a guarantee) subject to and as provided in Condition 15; or (b) Newco becomes a guarantor under the Bonds and the Bond Documents, in each case on terms satisfactory to the Bondholders;

(ii) such amendments are made to these Conditions and the Bond Documents as are necessary, in the opinion of the Bondholders, to ensure that the Bonds may be converted into or exchanged for cash and/or ordinary shares or units or the equivalent in Newco (or depositary or other receipts or certificates representing ordinary shares or units or the equivalent in Newco) mutatis mutandis in accordance with and subject to these Conditions with a Conversion Price (subject to adjustment as provided in these Conditions) economically equivalent to the Conversion Price immediately prior to the implementation of such amendments, as determined in good faith by an Independent Adviser;

(iii) the ordinary shares or units or equivalent of Newco (or depositary or other receipts or certificates representing ordinary shares or units or equivalents of Newco) are admitted to trading on a regulated, regularly operating, recognised stock exchange or securities market as determined by Newco; and

(iv) the Bond Documents and the Conditions provide at least the same or equivalent powers, protections, rights and benefits to the Bondholders following the implementation of such Newco Scheme as they provided to the Bondholders prior to the implementation of the Newco Scheme, mutatis mutandis,

and the Bondholders shall (at the expense of the Issuer, including payment by the Issuer of the reasonably incurred fees of Bondholders’ legal counsel, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in (i) to (iv) above and provided that the interests of Bondholders are not materially adversely prejudiced thereby) be obliged to concur in effecting such substitution or grant of such guarantee and in either case making any such amendments, provided that the Bondholders shall not be obliged so to concur if, in the opinion of the Bondholders, doing so would impose more onerous obligations upon any of them or expose any of them to any additional duties, responsibilities or liabilities in any way.

(h) use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the ADSs issued and/or transferred and delivered upon exercise of Conversion Rights or in relation to an ADS Settlement will, as soon as is practicable, be listed and admitted to trading on the Relevant Stock Exchange and will be listed, quoted or dealt in, as soon as is practicable, on any other stock exchange or securities market on which the ADSs may then be listed or quoted or dealt in (but so that this undertaking shall be considered as not being breached as a result of a Change of Control (whether or not recommended or approved by the


EMEA 149041286	98

board of directors of the Issuer) that causes or gives rise to, whether following the operation of any applicable compulsory acquisition provision or otherwise, (including at the request of the person or persons controlling the Issuer as a result of the Change of Control) a de-listing of the ADSs);

(i) use all reasonable endeavours to maintain the ADS facility in accordance with the Deposit Agreement such that ADSs can be delivered as and when required to satisfy Conversion Rights;

(j) use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any limit imposed upon the ADS facility would not be exceeded, which includes increasing the number of ADSs registered, should ADSs deliverable upon conversion of all outstanding Bonds be delivered;

(k) use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that there are no restrictions on conversion of Ordinary Shares into ADSs (save as provided in the Deposit Agreement) which would preclude the new ADSs issued upon conversion of all outstanding Bonds or delivered in connection with an ADS Settlement Option from being fungible with existing ADSs, including being immediately freely tradeable under the Securities Act by holders who are not affiliates of the Issuer, and have not been, affiliates of the Issuer within the preceding three months;

(l) request its legal advisers to provide to the Depositary such legal opinions as to US law (and other laws) as required by the Depositary in connection with the issuance, transfer, conversion or cancellation of ADSs or as provided for under the terms of the Deposit Agreement;

(m) use all reasonable endeavours to procure that it shall not become domiciled or resident for relevant tax purposes in any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom or within the United Kingdom unless:

(i) it would not thereafter be required pursuant to then current laws and regulations to make any greater withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of such jurisdiction or any applicable sub-division thereof or therein having power to tax; and

(ii) holders of the Bonds (whether upon transfer of Bonds or otherwise) would not thereafter be required to pay any additional stamp, issue, transfer, documentary or other similar taxes and duties,

in each case in respect of any payment on or in respect of the Bonds or the Bond Documents, or the transfer of any Bonds, (as applicable) than would be the case were the Issuer to remain domiciled and resident solely within the United Kingdom;

(n) at all times keep available for issue, free from pre-emptive or other preferential rights out of its authorised but unissued capital sufficient allotment authority in respect of Ordinary Shares to enable the exercise of Conversion Rights in respect of all the Bonds (including any Further Bonds) then outstanding and all other rights of subscription and exchange for Ordinary Shares, to be satisfied in full, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Issuer shall neither issue more than the number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) permitted by the applicable Shareholders authorisation in effect from time to time, unless further Shareholders authorisation has been obtained;


EMEA 149041286	99

(o) by not later than the first Interest Payment Date, make an application for admission to listing and trading of the Bonds on a “recognised stock exchange” (within the meaning of Section 1005 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (the “ITA 2007”) or their admission to trading on a “multilateral trading facility” operated by a UK or EEA-regulated recognised stock exchange (within the meaning of Sections 987 and 1005 of ITA 2007) and thereafter use all reasonable endeavours to maintain such listing or admission to trading provided that if the Issuer determines in good faith that it can no longer comply with its requirements for such listing or admission to trading, having used reasonable endeavours, or if the maintenance of such listing or admission to trading is unduly onerous or if, owing to a change of law after the Closing Date, such listing or admission to trading no longer provides an exemption from the obligation to deduct or withhold United Kingdom withholding tax on interest from payments made under or in respect of the Bonds, the Issuer will no longer be required to maintain that listing or admission to trading but will immediately obtain and maintain a listing on such other “recognised stock exchange” (within the meaning of Section 1005 of ITA 2007) or an admission to trading of the Bonds on such “multilateral trading facility” operated by a UK or EEA-regulated recognised stock exchange (within the meaning of Sections 987 and 1005 of ITA 2007) as the Issuer may in good faith determine;

(p) with respect to any calculation, determination or adjustment performed by the Calculation Agent or an Independent Adviser at the instruction of the Issuer, promptly notify the Bondholders of the relevant results thereof (and, upon request from any Bondholder, shall promptly provide such Bondholder with relevant details of such calculation or determination as such Bondholder may reasonably require) and, at any time upon request from any Bondholder, confirm to the Bondholders (and with notice to the Calculation Agent) the Conversion Price and the Floor Price then in effect and details of any relevant prior calculations, determinations or adjustments as such Bondholder may reasonably require;

(q) promptly upon:

(i) the Issuer becoming aware that a Free Float Event may have occurred (or would be likely to have occurred, if an Independent Adviser had been requested to make such determination), acting reasonably, based on publicly available information (including but not limited to reports filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) and without any requirement to make any further enquires; or

(ii) a request being made by the Majority Bondholders (acting reasonably, and such request not being made more than once in any six-month period),

the Issuer shall instruct an Independent Adviser to make a determination as to the number of Ordinary Shares comprising the Free Float;

(r) unless to do so shall be in breach of applicable law: (i) promptly notify each Bondholder in accordance with Condition 16 of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any breach of the Conditions or the provisions of the Bond Documents; and (ii) deliver to the Bondholders annually, and at any time upon reasonable demand in writing by the Majority Bondholders (but so that such demand shall not be made more than once during any Interest Period), a certificate signed by two directors of the Issuer on behalf of the Issuer certifying that, having made all reasonable enquiries, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Issuer, no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or breach of the Conditions


EMEA 149041286	100

or the Bond Documents has occurred since the date of the last such certificate (or, in the case of the first such certificate, the Closing Date), or if such an event or breach has occurred, giving all relevant details of such event or breach; and

(s) so far as permitted by applicable law and any applicable contractual obligations of confidentiality, at any time upon request from a Bondholder, as soon as practicable furnish to each Bondholder such information or materials as may be relevant to the operation of any of the provisions in the Bond Documents, including but not limited to any potential Change of Control, Free Float Event, De-Listing Event or ADS Settlement Liquidity Event, whether at any time a Subsidiary constitutes a Material Subsidiary and the relevant supporting calculations, evidence of the Issuer’s due and punctual performance of its obligations under the Bonds and the Bond Documents, provided that the Issuer shall not (without first entering into a separate confidentiality agreement with the relevant Bondholders) furnish any such information to the relevant Bondholders in connection with the Bonds, the ADSs, the Ordinary Shares, the Issuer or the Group that is of a price sensitive nature or inside information.

12. Prescription

Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Bonds shall be prescribed and become void unless made within 10 years (in the case of principal or any other amount (other than interest)) or five years (in the case of interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of such payment.

Claims in respect of any other obligation in respect of the Bonds, including delivery of Ordinary Shares, shall be prescribed and become void unless made within 10 years following the due date for performance of the relevant obligations.

13. Replacement of Bond Certificates

If any Bond Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced by the Issuer subject to and in accordance with Clause 5.6 (Replacement of Bond Certificates) of the Bond Agreement.

14. Amendment and Waiver

14.1 Amendment

Subject to Condition 14.2 and Condition 14.4, the Bonds and the Bond Documents may be amended, or waivers or consents given in respect thereof, with the agreement of the Issuer and the Majority Bondholders and (without prejudice to the terms of the Calculation Agency Agreement) any such amendment, waiver or consent will be binding on all Bondholders and shall be notified by the Issuer to Bondholders as soon as practicable.

14.2 Reserved Matters

The Issuer shall not agree to make any amendment, and no waiver or consent shall be effective, in respect of any Bondholder Reserved Matter, without the consent of the holders of at least 90 per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.


EMEA 149041286	101

14.3 Voting Evidence

In relation to any consent to be provided by Bondholders in accordance with the Bonds or the relevant Bond Documents, the Issuer shall provide or procure the provision of evidence satisfactory to each Bondholder (in each case acting reasonably) that specifies:

(b) the principal amount outstanding of Bonds held by or on behalf of the Issuer or any member of the Group or any of their respective affiliates (as referred to in the definition of “outstanding” in Condition 3).

14.4 Exclusions

The consent of the Bondholders shall not be required in the event the Issuer effects any amendment to the Bonds or the Bond Documents pursuant to a NewCo Scheme Modification or otherwise effects a substitution in accordance with Condition 15 (so long as the interests of Bondholders are not materially adversely prejudiced thereby, and the terms and conditions set out in these Conditions are complied with), provided that the Issuer provides not less than 20 Notice Business Days’ written notice of such amendments to the Bondholders.

15. Substitution

The Issuer may at any time, without the consent of the Bondholders, effect any substitution as provided in, and for the purposes of, Condition 11(g) in connection with a Newco Scheme and Condition 6.16 in connection with a Successor in Business (and any such substitute issuer being, the “Substitute Issuer”), provided that:

(a) the Issuer provides not less than 60 calendar days’ written notice to each Bondholder of such substitution, including the proposed effective date of such substitution, the identity of the Substitute Issuer and the latest audited financial statements of the Substitute Issuer, and such other information as the Bondholders may reasonably request upon receipt of such written notice;

(b) the Bonds continue to be convertible, mutatis mutandis as provided in the Conditions, into ordinary shares in the capital of the Substitute Issuer with like rights, mutatis mutandis, to the ADSs (and the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs);

(c) a deed is executed by the Substitute Issuer in a form and manner satisfactory to the Bondholders (acting reasonably), agreeing to be bound by the Bonds and each of the Bond Documents as if the Substitute Issuer has been named in such Bond Documents and the Bonds as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer, and therefrom releasing the Issuer from any or all of its obligations under the Bond Documents and the Bonds;

(d) legal opinions from reputable counsel acceptable to the Bondholders are addressed and delivered to (at the expense of the Substitute Issuer) the Bondholders on the entry into the amendment deed and all other relevant documentation and performance of the Substitute Issuer’s obligations under the Bonds and the enforceability thereof, in a form satisfactory to the Bondholders (acting reasonably);

(e) arrangements are made to the satisfaction of the Bondholders (acting reasonably) to have or be able to have the same or equivalent rights against the Substitute Issuer as they have against the Issuer (or any such previous substitute under this paragraph);

(f) that, from the date of the substitution:

(i) no greater withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature is imposed or levied by or on behalf of the taxing jurisdiction of the Substitute Issuer or any applicable sub-division thereof or therein having power to tax is applicable in respect of any payment on or in respect of the Bonds or the Bond Documents; and

(ii) holders of the Bonds (whether upon transfer of Bonds or otherwise) would not thereafter be required to pay any additional stamp, issue, transfer, documentary or other similar taxes and duties in the tax jurisdiction of the Substitute Issuer,

or that an indemnity in respect of any such additional amounts is provided by the Substitute Issuer to the satisfaction of the Bondholders (acting reasonably); and

(g) any two directors of the Substitute Issuer certify that it will be solvent immediately after such substitution.

Upon the satisfaction of such conditions, the Substitute Issuer will be deemed to be named in the Bond Documents (but without prejudice to the terms of the Calculation Agency Agreement) and the Bonds as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer (or of any previous substitute) and each Bond Document and the Bonds will be deemed to be modified in such manner as shall be necessary to give effect to the substitution.

With effect from (and including) the date of such substitution, all payments of principal and interest payable in respect of the Bonds by the Substitute Issuer shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges (including any penalties, interest and additions to tax related thereto) of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of its taxing jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If, following the date of the substitution of the Substitute Issuer, there is any increase from the amounts or rates initially determined in Condition 15(f)(i) in respect of such withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature payable in respect of any payment on or in respect of the Bonds or the Bond Documents, the Substitute Issuer shall pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the Bondholders of such amounts as would have been received by them if such withholding or deduction had not been increased (including any deduction or withholding attributable to the additional amounts).

16. Notices

All notices required to be given to Bondholders pursuant to the Conditions will (unless otherwise provided in these Conditions) be given in accordance with, Clause 13 (Notices) of the Bond Agreement, or such other contact details as any Bondholder may subsequently provide in writing to the Issuer from time to time or pursuant to a duly completed and executed Transfer and Accession Deed.

The Issuer shall send a copy of all notices given by it to Bondholders (or a Bondholder) pursuant to these Conditions promptly to the Calculation Agent.

As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, the Issuer shall by notice to the Bondholders in accordance with this Condition 16 (the “Initial Determinations


EMEA 149041286	103

Notice”), confirm the following details in relation to these Conditions: (a) the Reset Price Floor for each Reset Date (determined, solely for the purpose of such notice, on the basis of such initial Floor Price and Reference Conversion Price); (b) the Closing Date; (c) the Interest Payment Dates; (d) the Amortisation Payment Dates; (e) the Reset Dates; (f) the Final Maturity Date; and (g) each period of 14 calendar days prior to an Interest Payment Date and Amortisation Payment Date that constitutes a “Non-Trading Period” and each period of 6 weeks prior to each Reset Date that may constitute a “Non-Trading Period”, in each case as referred to and subject as provided in Clause 12.1 of the Bond Agreement.

17. Further Issues

The Issuer may not create and issue Further Bonds except with the prior written approval of all of the Bondholders. Any Further Bonds shall be constituted by a deed supplemental to the Bond Agreement.

18. Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Bonds under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

19. Governing Law

These Conditions, the Bond Agreement, the Calculation Agency Agreement and the Bonds and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

20. Beneficial Ownership of Ordinary Shares

If, at any time, the Issuer shall conduct an initial public offering or otherwise become a Reporting Company in the United States then, notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions or the Bond Documents, each Bondholder, together with its other Attribution Parties, shall not at any time own or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 9.99 per cent. of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares in the Issuer (the “Maximum Percentage”). For the purposes of the foregoing provision, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by a Bondholder and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares held by such Bondholder and its other Attribution Parties, plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of Conversion Rights in respect of any Bond held by such Bondholder and its other Attribution Parties or following any ADS Settlement of any principal or interest amounts payable under any Bonds held by such Bondholder and its other Attribution Parties, in each case with respect to which the determination of such provision is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs which would be issuable upon:

(a) conversion of the remaining, non-converted portion of any Bond beneficially owned by the Initial Bondholder or any of its other Attribution Parties, as the case may be, including any ADS Settlement of any principal or interest amounts payable under any such Bonds; and

(b) the exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other Securities of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by a Bondholder or any other


EMEA 149041286	104

Attribution Party, subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Condition 20.

For the purposes of this Condition 20, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For the purposes of determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs a Bondholder may acquire upon the conversion of any Bond or following any ADS Settlement of any principal or interest amounts payable under the Bonds without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Bondholder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (i) the Issuer’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer or (iii) any other written notice by the Issuer setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (in either case, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).

If the Issuer receives a Conversion Notice from a Bondholder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Issuer shall notify such Bondholder in writing of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such exercise of Conversion Rights would otherwise cause that Bondholder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Condition 20, to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the relevant Bondholder must notify the Issuer of a reduced number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs to be purchased pursuant to such exercise of Conversion Rights.

The Issuer shall promptly on demand by any Bondholder (and in any event by no later than one Business Day after demand) confirm in writing to such Bondholder the relevant number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at such date. The number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of Securities of the Issuer, including any Bond and any ADS Settlement of any principal or interest amounts payable thereunder, by the relevant Bondholder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance or transfer and delivery of ADSs to a Bondholder upon conversion of any Bond or ADS Settlement of any amounts payable thereunder results in that Bondholder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of ADSs so issued or delivered by which that Bondholder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Bondholder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Issuer, the Bondholder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the 61st day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Bondholder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Bonds that is not an Attribution Party of the Bondholder.

The Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs issuable pursuant to the terms of any Bond in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by a Bondholder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert any Bond shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Condition 20 with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this Condition shall be construed and


EMEA 149041286	105

implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Condition 20 to the extent necessary to correct this Condition 20 (or any portion of this Condition 20) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Condition 20 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

The limitation contained in this Condition 20 may not be waived by any Bondholder

4. Subject to Clause 5.4 (Closed Periods) and 11.2 (Permitted Transfers), Bonds may be transferred by execution of the relevant Transfer and Accession Deed under the hand of the transferor and the transferee or, where the transferor or transferee is a corporation, under its common seal or under the hand of two of its officers duly authorised in writing. Where and to the extent that any duty or tax is required to be paid before the effect of a transfer may lawfully be registered in the Register, the Company shall not be required to take any action in respect of such transfer (whether under this Schedule or under Clause 11.2 or otherwise) unless and until it has received evidence to its satisfaction that such tax or duty has been paid.

5. The Bond Certificate issued in respect of the Bonds to be transferred must be surrendered for registration, together with the Transfer and Accession Deed (including any certification as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer), duly completed and executed, at the registered office of the Company, and together with such evidence as the Company may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor and the authority of the persons who have executed the Transfer and Accession Deed.

7. Any person becoming entitled to any Bonds in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the Bondholder of such Bonds may, upon producing such evidence that he holds the position in respect of which he proposes to act under this paragraph or of his title as the Company reasonably may require (including legal opinions), become registered himself as the Bondholder of such Bonds or, subject to the provisions of these Regulations, the Conditions
