In addition, if for any reason a Relevant Shareholder has received an original Provisional Allotment Letter despatched on 27 October 2020, the Provisional Allotment Letter may only be obtained if the original so despatched is first surrendered to Computershare at the above address. If the original is not so surrendered such Relevant Shareholder may only inspect a pro forma copy thereof.
