3.2    Where applications are scaled down in accordance with Rule 3.1 all relevant applications shall be deemed to have been amended or withdrawn, as the case may be.
3.3    If the number of Shares is insufficient to enable an Option based on a £10 per month contribution to be granted to each Eligible Employee who has made a valid application, the Company may, as an alternative to selecting by lot, determine in its absolute discretion that no Options will be granted.

9.2    Where the “New Options” are granted pursuant to Rule 9.1 they shall be regarded for the purposes of the subsequent application of the provisions of the Plan as having been granted at the time when the corresponding Old Options were granted and, with effect from the date on which the New Options are granted:

12
9.2.2    references to “Shares” (including the definition in Rule 1) shall be construed as being references to shares in the Acquiring Company or shares in such other company to which the New Options relate but references to Participating Company shall continue to be construed as if references to the Company were references to Indivior PLC;
9.2.3    the Savings Contract made in connection with the Old Option has been made in connection with the New Option; the Bonus Date in relation to the New Option was the same as in relation to the Old Option; and
9.2.4    notwithstanding the above, Indivior PLC shall remain the scheme organiser of the Plan (as defined in paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 3).
10    Variation of Share Capital
10.1    In the event of any capitalisation (other than a scrip issue), rights issue, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or other variation of the share capital of the Company:

10.1.2    their Exercise Price;
10.1.3    where an Option has been exercised but no Shares have been allotted or transferred in satisfaction of such exercise, the number of Shares to be so allotted or transferred and their Exercise Price;
may be varied in such manner as the Directors shall determine provided that:
(i)     the variation or variations made under this Rule 10 must (in particular) secure:
(a)    that the total market value of the Shares which may be acquired by the exercise of the Option is immediately after the variation or variations substantially the same as what it was immediately before the variation or variations; and
(b)    that the total price at which those Shares may be acquired is immediately after the variation or variations substantially the same as what it was immediately before the variation or variations; and
(ii)    except as provided in Rules 10.2 and 10.3, no variation shall be made which would result in the Exercise Price for an allotted Share being less than its nominal value.
10.2    Any adjustment made to the Exercise Price of unissued Shares which would have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price to less than the nominal value of the Shares shall only be made if and to the extent that the Directors are authorised to capitalise from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the amount by which the nominal value of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercisable exceeds the adjusted Exercise Price. The Directors may apply such sum in paying up such amount on such Shares so that on the exercise of any Option in respect of which such a reduction shall have been made, the Directors shall capitalise such sum (if any) and apply the same in paying up such amount as aforesaid.
