7


5.2 The date of the allotment and issue of any Shares subject to the Notice of Exercise delivered in accordance with clause 5.1 shall be the date of delivery of the Certificate, or receipt of the aggregate Subscription Price, whichever is the later.

 

5.3 On delivery to the Company of a Notice of Exercise for less than the number of Warrant Shares the Warrantholder holds as evidenced by the accompanying Certificate the Company will issue the Warrantholder with a new Certificate for the number of Warrant Shares not subscribed for.

 

5.4 Five working days after the Certificate accompanied by the documents and remittance as specified in clause 5.1 are lodged at the registered office of the Company in accordance with clause 5.1, share certificates shall be issued (free of charge) in respect of the Warrant Shares allotted and issued in accordance with this clause 5.

6. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS

 

6.1 Subject to clause 8, following an Adjustment Event the number and/or nominal value of Warrant Shares to be, or capable of being, subscribed for on any subsequent exercise of the Subscription Rights and/or the Subscription Price will be adjusted in such manner as the Auditors shall certify to be necessary in order that, after such adjustment:

 

  6.1.1 the total number of Warrant Shares which may be subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription Rights is such that Warrant Shares when issued:

 

  (a) will carry nearly as possible (and in any event not less than) the same proportion of the votes attaching to all the issued share capital of the Company; and

 

  (b) will carry the entitlement to participate in the same proportion in the profits and assets of the Company,

as would the total number of Warrant Shares which would have been subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription Rights immediately prior to the relevant Adjustment Event; and

 

  6.1.2 the aggregate Subscription Price payable in order to subscribe for all the Warrant Shares which may be subscribed for pursuant to Subscription Rights will be as nearly as possible (and in any event no more than) the same as it was prior to the relevant Adjustment Event.

 

8


6.2 The Company shall procure that no Adjustment Event shall occur prior to the end of the Subscription Period unless the Auditors shall either (i) prior to or (ii) contemporaneously with, the passing of the relevant resolution of the Shareholders or Directors giving effect to or sanctioning such event, certify the appropriate adjustments. The Company shall send notice of such adjustments to the Warrantholders as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than 7 days) following the passing of the relevant resolution together with a replacement Certificate evidencing the Warrantholders’ adjusted Subscription Rights (and the original Certificate shall automatically be cancelled).

 

6.3 In calculating any entitlement to additional Subscription Rights under this clause 6 fractions shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.

 

7. WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY

If, prior to the end of the Subscription Period, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for winding up the Company the holders of Warrants which have become exercisable pursuant to Schedule 4 will (if in such winding up there shall be a surplus available for distribution to the holders of the Warrant Shares which, taking into account the amounts payable to exercise Subscription Rights, exceeds in respect of each Warrant Share a sum equal to the relative Subscription Price) be treated as if, immediately before the date of such order or resolution the Subscription Rights had been exercised in full in the terms (including the effect of any adjustment pursuant to clause 6) then current and shall accordingly be entitled to receive out of the assets available in the liquidation according to the priority rights which would have been applicable to the relevant Warrant Shares such sum as he would have received had he been the holder of the Warrant Shares to which he would have become entitled by virtue of such subscription but after deducting a sum per Share equal to the Subscription Price (after any appropriate adjustment pursuant to clause 6). Subject to the foregoing provisions of this clause 7, all Subscription Rights shall lapse upon an order being made or effective resolution being passed for winding up the Company.

 

8. SUPPLEMENTARY PROTECTION

 

8.1 Prior to the end of the Subscription Period the Company shall not without the prior sanction of an Extraordinary Resolution (and otherwise than on terms including consequent adjustment of Subscription Rights and subject to such conditions as may be approved or stipulated in or by the terms of such Extraordinary Resolution):

 

  8.1.1 make any reduction of share capital, share premium account or capital redemption reserve including the repayment of money to shareholders; or

 

  8.1.2 modify the rights attached to any of its Shares in any way which has, or might reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the rights of the Warrantholders or on the respective abilities of such persons to enjoy such rights (but so that such restriction shall not be construed as a restriction or prohibition on sub-division or consolidation of Shares subject to the provisions of clause 6).

 

9


8.2 If at the date of exercise of any Subscription Rights, the Ordinary Shares are either admitted to trading on AIM or to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, the Company shall use its best endeavours to obtain admission to trading on AIM or listing (as the case may be) of the Ordinary Shares which are to be allotted on the exercise of such Subscription Rights, on or within three working days after allotment of the same.

 

8.3 If any offer is made to all holders of Shares (or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any company controlled by the offeror and/or persons acting in concert with the offeror) to acquire all or a proportion of the Shares, the Company shall forthwith give notice of such offer to the holders of Warrants which have become exercisable pursuant to Schedule 4 at the same time as any notice thereof is sent by the Company to its shareholders and in such event notwithstanding any other provision of this instrument, the Warrants shall (provided always that the Subscription Period has not expired) be exercisable at any time after such offer has become or been declared unconditional in all respects and the Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the offer is extended to the holders of any Shares issued during the offer period. To the extent that such Warrants have not been exercised by the end of the offer period they shall lapse. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants in respect of which the related Warrant Exercise Condition has not been satisfied at the end of such offer period shall continue in force in accordance with their terms.

 

9. TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF WARRANTS

 

9.1 Warrants are not transferable.

 

9.2 The Company shall maintain a register of persons entitled to the Warrants and the provisions of schedule 2 shall apply (subject to clause 10) in relation to the transmission thereof.

11.2 All or any of the rights for the time being attaching to the Warrants (including the Subscription Rights) may from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be altered or abrogated with the prior sanction of an Extraordinary Resolution and the prior written consent of the Company.

 

10


12. INFORMATION/REPRESENTATION RIGHTS OF WARRANTHOLDERS

 

12.1 The Company shall send or procure to be sent to each Warrantholder a copy of its annual financial statements together with all documents required by law to be annexed thereto and copies of every statement, notice or circular issued to the shareholders of the Company concurrently with the issue of the same to its shareholders.

13. REPLACEMENT OF CERTIFICATES

If a Certificate is mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or destroyed, it will be replaced by the Company at the expense of the Warrantholder concerned and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Company may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

 

14. NOTICES

Any notice to the Warrantholders required for the purposes of any provision of this instrument shall be given in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 15 to 19 (inclusive) of schedule 2.

3. The Company shall be entitled to treat the relevant Warrantholder as the absolute owner of a Warrant and accordingly shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Warrant on the part of any person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

 

4. Every Warrantholder will be recognised by the Company as entitled to his Warrants free from any equity, set-off or cross-claim on the part of the Company against the original or any intermediate holder of such Warrants.

 

5. Any person becoming entitled to a Warrant otherwise than by transfer may, upon producing such evidence of title as the Directors shall reasonably require, and subject as hereinafter provided, be registered himself as holder of the Warrant.

7. A person becoming entitled to a Warrant otherwise than on transfer shall be entitled to receive and may give a good discharge for any moneys payable in respect thereof but shall not be entitled to receive notices of or to attend or vote at meetings of the Warrantholders or, save as specified above, to any of the rights or privileges of a Warrantholder until he shall have become the registered holder of the Warrant.

 

8. Every Warrantholder shall register with the Company an address either in the United Kingdom or elsewhere to which notices can be sent and if any Warrantholder shall fail so to do notice may be given to such Warrantholder by sending the same by any of the methods referred to in paragraph 16 of this schedule to his place of business or residence last known to the Company.

13. Any notice or other communication given to a Warrantholder in accordance with this schedule shall, notwithstanding that such Warrantholder may then be deceased and whether or not the Company has notice of his death, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any Warrant held solely or jointly with other persons by such Warrantholder until some other person be registered in his place as the holder or joint holder thereof and such service shall for all purposes of this instrument be deemed a sufficient service of any notice or document on his or her executors or administrators and all persons (if any) jointly interested with him in any such Warrant.

Schedule 3- Provisions for meetings of Warrantholders

 

1. The Company at any time may, and upon a request in writing of Warrantholders holding not less than 10 per cent. in number of the Warrants shall, convene a meeting of Warrantholders. Every such meeting shall be held at such reasonably convenient and appropriate place in the United Kingdom as the Directors may approve. Any references in this schedule to a specific percentage of Warrants at any time shall be a reference to that percentage of Warrants in issue and not exercised or cancelled at that time.

 

2. At least 21 days’ notice of the meeting shall be given to Warrantholders. The notice shall specify the day, time and place of the meeting and the terms of the resolutions to be proposed. The accidental omission to give notice to, or the non-receipt of any such notice, by any of the Warrantholders shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting.

 

3. A person (who may, but need not, be a Warrantholder) nominated in writing by the Company shall be entitled to take the chair at every such meeting but if no such nomination is made or, if at any meeting the person nominated shall not be present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for the holding of such meeting, the Warrantholders present shall choose one of their number to be chairman.

 

4. At any such meeting two or more persons holding Warrants and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate Warrantholders registered as the holders of not less than 10 per cent. of the Warrants shall (except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution) form a quorum for the transaction of business and no business other than the choosing of a chairman shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum shall be present at the commencement of business. The quorum at any such meeting for the passing of any Extraordinary Resolution shall be at least one person holding Warrants and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate Warrantholders registered as the holders of not less than 50 per cent. of the Warrants.

 

5. If, within half an hour after the time appointed for any meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting shall, if convened upon the requisition of Warrantholders, be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned for such period, not being not less than 14 days nor more than 28 days, and to such time and place, as may be appointed by the chairman. At such adjourned meeting at least one person present in person holding Warrants and/or being proxies (whatever the number of Warrants so held or represented) shall for all purposes form a quorum and shall have the power to pass any resolution (including an Extraordinary Resolution) and to decide upon all matters which could properly have been dealt with at the meeting from which the adjournment took place had a quorum been present at such meeting.

 

6. The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any meeting adjourn the same from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

 

18


7. At least ten days’ notice of any meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be given to Warrantholders in the same manner as for an original meeting, and such notice shall state the quorum required at such adjourned meeting. Subject to that requirement, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.

 

8. Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands.

10. If at any meeting a poll is so demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and, subject as hereinafter provided, either at once or after any adjournment, as the chairman directs, and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company shall be entitled to vote in respect of Warrants held by it or on its behalf nor shall the holding of any such Warrants count towards a quorum.

16. An Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding upon all Warrantholders, whether present or not present at such meeting and each of the Warrantholders shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly.
