Miscellaneous

 

The Capital Raising remains conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects and Admission. Application has been made for the admission of the 106,481,482 New Shares to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and to trading on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that Admission and commencement of dealings in the New Shares will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 19 April 2018.

 

New Shares in uncertificated form are expected to be credited to CREST accounts by 8.00 a.m. on 19 April 2018 and definitive share certificates for the New Shares in certificated form are expected to be dispatched no later than 30 April 2018.

 

The New Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank in full for all dividends or distributions made, paid or declared, if any, by reference to a record date after the date of their issue or otherwise pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares. The New Shares will not qualify for the dividend declared on 27 March 2018, payable on 25 May 2018 to Shareholders on the Company's register as at 6 April 2018.

 

Following Admission, the total issued share capital of PHP will be 730,732,852 ordinary shares of 12.5 pence each. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
