Forward-looking statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's intentions, beliefs, or current expectations regarding and goals for the Company's future operations, financial position, liquidity, performance, prospects, expected growth, strategies, and opportunities, as well as the markets in which the Company operates. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate to historical facts and can be identified by expressions such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "may", "plan", "estimate", "shall", "should", "could", "aim" or "might", or in each case their negative or similar variations. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on various assumptions, many of which in turn are based on additional assumptions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can provide no assurances that they will materialize or prove to be correct. As these statements are based on assumptions or estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such risks, uncertainties, unpredictable events and other significant factors may lead to actual events differing materially from the expectations expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Information to distributors
In order to meet the product governance requirements contained in: (a) Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of the Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and to disclaim any non-contractual, contractual or other liability towards any "manufacturer" (within the meaning of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) that might otherwise arise, the offered shares have been subject to a product approval process which has determined that these securities are: (i) suitable for a target market of retail investors and investors meeting the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) suitable for distribution through all distribution channels as permitted under MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment").
Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Company's shares may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment; the Company's shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Company's shares is only suitable for investors who do not require a guaranteed income or capital protection and who (either alone or with an appropriate financial or other advisor) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and have sufficient resources to bear any losses that may result from it. The Target Market Assessment does not affect any other requirements relating to contractual, legal or regulatory sales restrictions in connection with the Rights Issue.
The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal, or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Rights Issue. For the avoidance of doubt, the 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, purchase, or take any other action concerning the Company's shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Company's shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
