the acceptance period for the Offer will end at 1:00 p.m. London time on 10 July 2023, unless

Acceptance Period to 1:00 p.m. London time on 21 July 2023. Section 5.1 and the Summary of the Offer

unchanged. This revision to the Offer does not represent a diminution in the value of the Offer as so
revised compared with the consideration or terms previously offered or in the overall value received
and/or retained by an Accepting Shareholder. Accordingly, Accepting Shareholders who submitted their
acceptance of the Offer prior to this announcement will be bound by this revision. Shareholders who
have not yet accepted the Offer and who wish to do so should take action to accept the Offer as soon
as possible. Details of the procedure for doing so are set out in the Offer Document.

Capitalised terms in this announcement, unless otherwise defined, have the same meanings as set out
