* Amounts stated after the 1:5 share consolidation ** 7,800 treasury shares of the Company were cancelled during 2015. Share consolidation and repurchase At the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders held on June 19, 2017 resolutions were passed, amongst others, which:
(a) |  | authorised the consolidation of the Company’s share capital on the basis of 1 share for every 100 shares held;
(b) |  | approved the repurchase of fractions of shares created by the consolidation which were held by shareholders with fewer than 100 shares prior to the consolidation at a price of CAD1.664 per pre-consolidation share held ;
(c) |  | authorised the division of the consolidated shares immediately following the steps above on the basis of 20 shares for every 1 share; and
(d) |  | approved the repurchase of fractions of shares remaining following the steps above at the same price as at (b)
payments made for repurchases pursuant to (b) and (d) were subject to a minimum with the Company being entitled to retain amounts of GBP5 or less. The combined effect of the above steps which was effected on June 26, 2017 was an effective consolidation of the company’s shares on the basis of 1 share for every 5 shares previously held, the repurchase and cancellation of all shareholdings of fewer than 100 shares before the implementation of the 1 for 100 consolidation and the repurchase and cancellation of all remaining fractions following the 20 for 1 division. This resulted in an effective repurchase of 118,063 shares at a cost of $146 and a reduction in the number of issued shares of 42,135,492 shares arising from the consolidation. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time, and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. The Company has no preference shares in issue.
