UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the Product Governance requirements contained
within Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Requirements") and
disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or
otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product
Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New
Common Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has
determined that the New Common Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target
market of investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible
counterparties, each as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business
Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution
channels as are permitted by UK Product Governance Requirements (the "UK
Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment,
distributors should note that: the price of the New Common Shares may decline
and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Common
Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment
in the New Common Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a
guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction
with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be
able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.
The UK Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of
any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the
Placing element of the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that,
notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment, Turner Pope and Greenwood
will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties.
For the avoidance of doubt, the UK Target Market Assessment does not
constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the
purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A, respectively, of the FCA Handbook Conduct of
Business Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of
investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with
respect to, the New Common Shares.
Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the New Common Shares and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
EU Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained
within (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as
amended ("MiFID II"), (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive
(EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II and (c) local implementing measures
(together the "EU Product Governance Requirements") and disclaiming all and
any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the EU Product Governance Requirements)
may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Common Shares have been
subject to product approval process, which has determined that the New Common
Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of (a) investors who meet
the criteria of professional clients and (b) eligible counterparties, each as
defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all
distribution channels as are permitted by EU Product Governance Requirements
(the "EU Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the EU Target Market
Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Common Shares
may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New
Common Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an
investment in the New Common Shares is compatible only with investors who do
not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in
conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient
resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.
The EU Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of
any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the
Placing element of the Offering. Furthermore, it is noted that,
notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, Turner Pope and Greenwood
will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties.
For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does not
constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the
purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of
investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with
respect to the New Common Shares.
