As a result of an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association registered on 3 April 2023, the company has only one series of shares ("Combination of Share Classes"). In connection with the Combination of Share Classes, the previous ordinary shares have been converted to shares in the only share class. After the Combination of Share Classes, all shares of the company are of the same class and carry equal rights in the company, including one (1) vote in the General Meetings. The flagging notification relates to the dilution of the number of votes due to the conversion of the ordinary shares decreasing the number of votes carried by the shares below the flagging threshold of 5%.
