In accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company, following the declaration of the B Share Dividend, all B Shares in respect of which the B Share Dividend was declared were converted into Deferred Shares. The Deferred Shares are not listed and, in practice, have no economic or other rights. In accordance with the procedure set out in the Circular, the Company purchased all of the Deferred Shares held by Shareholders who received the B Share Dividend for nil consideration and the Deferred Shares will be cancelled by the Company.
Payments to Shareholders
By 16 November, 2015, (i) cheques are expected to be despatched to the relevant Shareholders in respect of B Shares redeemed under the Redemption Option; (ii) cheques are expected to be despatched to the relevant Shareholders in respect of the B Share Dividend; and (iii) cheques are expected to be despatched in respect of the proceeds of the sale of fractional entitlements (save in respect of amounts less than €5.00 which will be retained by the Company).
Payment to ADS Holders
On or about 27 November, 2015 payment of the B Share Dividend (net of the Depositary's fee of US$0.02 per Existing ADS and any applicable expenses and taxes) will be made to ADS Holders by the ADS Depositary.
Defined terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Circular issued by the Company dated 28 September, 2015.
