The Company will issue an announcement providing further information regarding the time and location of the Scheme Sanction Hearing in due course.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Explanatory Statement issued by the Company on 21 December 2022, as amended on 11 January 2023.
