NOTES
1. Restrictions on attending the Meeting
The meeting of Noteholders will be held online by way of video conference
(with the option to attend by telephone conference) or such applicable virtual
or electronic means for which it shall publish details on the website listed
in paragraph 8 of these notes.
To be entitled to attend, Noteholders must be entered on the Register of
Noteholders of the Issuer at close of business on 12 April 2022.
Evidence of identity of Noteholders is required to be verified electronically
prior to the Meeting. Such evidence of identity will need to be received by
the Issuer in the manner specified below in Access to the Meeting.
2. Access to the Meeting by Noteholders
The Meeting shall be convened by video conference at 12 p.m. on 13 April 2022.
In order to receive details of the video conference and to attend the Meeting,
each Noteholder will be required to provide confirmation as to their holding
of the applicable Series 2020-F1 Notes and evidence of identity no later than
the close of business on 8 April 2022 by email to info@invenio-capital.com
(mailto:info@invenio-capital.com) or post to 45 Pall Mall, London, England,

To the extent any evidence of identity is submitted in the period after such

such reasonable steps to verify the identity of any Noteholder prior to
announcing the result of the Meeting until the close of business two business
days after the Meeting or further adjourned Meeting, as applicable.
Noteholders who have any general queries about the Meeting should contact the
Issuer by email to: info@invenio-capital.com (mailto:info@invenio-capital.com)
.
3. Entitlement to vote
To be entitled to vote in respect of the number of notes registered in their
name, Noteholders must be entered on the Register of Noteholders of the Issuer
at close of business on 12 April 2022, or, if the Meeting is further
adjourned, on the Register of Noteholders at close of business two days prior
to the date of any adjourned Meeting. Changes to entries on the Register of
Noteholders after close of business on 12 April 2022, or, if this Meeting is
further adjourned, changes to entries on the Register of Noteholders after
close of business two days prior to the date of any adjourned Meeting, will be
disregarded in determining the rights of any person to vote at the Meeting.
4. Appointment of proxy
Noteholders are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any
of their rights to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting. A proxy need not be
a Noteholder of the Issuer but must attend the Meeting to represent a
Noteholder. To be validly appointed, a proxy must be appointed using the
procedures set out in these notes and in the notes to the accompanying proxy
form. Proxy appointments already validly made in relation to the Meeting
prior to the adjournment on 18 March 2022 will remain valid for the
reconvening of the Meeting.
If a Noteholder wishes a proxy to speak on their behalf at the Meeting, the
Noteholder will need to appoint their own choice of proxy (not the Chairman of
the Meeting) and give their instructions directly to them. Such an appointment
can be made using the Form of Proxy accompanying this notice of Meeting or
through CREST.
Noteholders can only appoint more than one proxy where each proxy is appointed
to exercise rights attached to different notes. Noteholders cannot appoint
more than one proxy to exercise the rights attached to the same note(s). If a
Noteholder wishes to appoint more than one proxy, they should contact the
Registrar at Avenir Registrars Limited, 5 St. John's Lane, London EC1M 4BH.
A Noteholder may instruct their proxy to abstain from voting on the Resolution
to be considered at the Meeting by marking the Withheld option in relation to
the Resolution when appointing their proxy. It should be noted that an
abstention is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of
the proportion of votes For or Against the Resolution.
The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a Noteholder from attending the
Meeting and voting in person if he or she wishes.
5. Appointment of proxy using proxy form
Completing the enclosed Form of Proxy and returning it to Avenir Registrars
Limited, 5 St. John's Lane, London EC1M 4BH.
6. Appointment of proxy through CREST
CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST
electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Meeting and any
adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedure described in the CREST Manual
(available at www.euroclear.com). CREST personal members or other CREST
sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service
provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service
provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service
to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must
be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland
Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such
instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via
www.euroclear.com). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the
appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a
previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as
to be received by the CREST Announcement Agent (RA20) by the latest time(s)
for receipt of proxy appointments. For this purpose, the time of receipt will
be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message
by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to
retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
After this time, any change of instruction to proxies appointed through CREST
should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service
providers) should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make
available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal
system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input
of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member
concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or
sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that
his CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be
necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system
by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members (and, where
applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) are referred, in
particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical
limitations of the CREST system and timings (www.euroclear.com).
The Issuer may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances
set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations
2001 (as amended).
7. Corporate representatives
Any corporation which is a Noteholder can appoint one or more corporate
representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a
Noteholder provided that they do not do so in relation to the same Notes.
8. Website giving information regarding the Meeting
Information regarding the Meeting, and a copy of this notice of Meeting is
