General
The attention of Bondholders is particularly
drawn to the quorum required for the Meetings and for any adjourned
Meetings which is set out in "Voting and Quorum" below. Having
regard to such requirements, Bondholders are strongly urged either
to attend the relevant Meeting(s) or to take steps to be
represented at the relevant Meeting(s), as referred to below, as
soon as possible.
In accordance
with normal practice, the Bond Trustee has not been involved in the
formulation of the Proposals outlined in the Solicitation
Memorandum and the Bond Trustee expresses no opinion on the merits
of the Proposals or the Extraordinary Resolutions but has
authorised it to be stated that it has no objection to the
Extraordinary Resolutions being submitted to Bondholders for their
consideration. The Bond Trustee recommends that Bondholders who are
unsure of the impact of the Proposals and the Extraordinary
Resolutions should take their own independent financial, legal,
investment, regulatory and tax advice on the merits and on the
consequences of voting in favour of or against (or abstaining from
voting in respect of) the relevant Extraordinary Resolution(s). The
Bond Trustee is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness,
validity or correctness of the statements made in the Solicitation
Memorandum or omissions therefrom.
Accordingly,
Bondholders who are unsure of the impact of the Proposals and the
Extraordinary Resolutions should seek their own independent
financial, legal, investment, regulatory and tax
advice.
Voting and Quorum
The relevant provisions governing the convening
and holding of the Meetings are set out in Schedule 3 or
Schedule 4, as applicable, to the Bond Trust Deed, copies of which
are available for inspection as referred to above.
Each person (a "Beneficial Owner") who is the owner of
a particular nominal amount of the Bonds as shown in the records of
Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or CDS Clearing and Depository
Services Inc. ("CDS") or
their accountholders (the "Accountholders") should note that they
are not the legal or registered holders of the Bonds for the
purposes of this Notice of Meetings and will only be entitled to
attend and vote at the relevant Meeting or to appoint a proxy or
representative to do so in accordance with the procedures set out
below.
Any Accountholder (directly or on behalf of
Beneficial Owners) who has submitted Electronic Voting
Instructions, as applicable, to the Clearing Systems no later than
4.00 p.m. (London time) on 13 November 2024 in accordance with the
procedures set out in the Solicitation Memorandum need not take any
further action in relation to voting at the relevant Meeting in
respect of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution. By submitting or
delivering a duly completed Electronic Voting Instruction to the
relevant Clearing Systems, the relevant Accountholder instructs the
Principal Paying Agent to appoint the Tabulation Agent and Canadian
Tabulation Agent or their nominee as proxy to attend and vote at
the relevant Meeting in favour of or against (or abstain from
voting in respect of) the relevant Extraordinary
Resolution.
The following paragraphs (1) to (2) apply only
to Accountholders or Beneficial Owners who have not submitted or
delivered or arranged for the submission or delivery of Electronic
Voting Instructions to the relevant Clearing System in accordance
with the terms of the Solicitation Memorandum.
(1)
An Accountholder or Beneficial Owner wishing to attend and vote at
the relevant Meeting in person must produce at the relevant Meeting
either definitive Bonds, voting certificates or forms of proxy in
relation to the Bond in respect of which they wish to vote. Those
Beneficial Owners who, and Accountholders of Beneficial Owners who,
hold their interests in the Bonds through the Clearing Systems and
who wish to attend and vote at the relevant Meeting should contact
the relevant Clearing System (through the relevant Accountholder,
if applicable) to make arrangements to be appointed as proxy in
respect of the Bonds in which they have an interest for the purpose
of attending and voting at the relevant Meeting in person. Such
Beneficial Owners or Accountholders must have made arrangements to
vote with the relevant Clearing System (through the relevant
Accountholder, if applicable) in time for the relevant Clearing
System to arrange for them to be appointed as a proxy no later than
4.00 p.m. (London time) on 13 November 2024. An Accountholder or
Beneficial Owner not wishing to attend and vote at the relevant
Meeting in person may either deliver their Bond(s) or a document
(in the case of an Accountholder which is a corporation) appointing
such person as representative of any such holder or Beneficial
Owner to the person whom they wish to attend on their behalf
instructing the Principal Paying Agent to appoint a proxy to attend
and vote at the relevant Meeting in accordance with their
instructions. Those Beneficial Owners who, and Accountholders of
Beneficial Owners who, hold their interests in the Bonds through a
Clearing System and who wish to vote at but who do not wish to
attend the relevant Meeting should contact the relevant Clearing
System (through the relevant Accountholder, if applicable) to
arrange for another person nominated by them to be appointed as a
proxy in respect of such Bonds in which they have an interest to
attend and vote at the relevant Meeting on their behalf or to make
arrangements for the votes relating to such Bonds in which they
have an interest to be cast on their behalf by or on behalf of the
Principal Paying Agent acting as a proxy. Such Beneficial Owners or
Accountholders must have made arrangements to vote with the
relevant Clearing System (through the relevant Accountholder, if
applicable) in time for the relevant Clearing System to arrange for
the Beneficial Owner's nominee, or a representative of the
Principal Paying Agent, to be appointed as a proxy not later than
4.00 p.m. (London time) on 13 November 2024.
(2)
Bonds may be deposited with any Principal Paying Agent or held (to
such Principal Paying Agent's satisfaction) to the order of such
Principal Paying Agent or under such Principal Paying Agent's
control or blocked in an account with a clearing system for the
purpose of obtaining voting certificates or appointing proxies, not
later than 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 13 November 2024 (or, if
applicable, 48 hours before the time appointed for holding any
adjournment of a Meeting) or appointing representatives in respect
of the relevant Meeting. Bonds so deposited or held will not be
released until the earlier of the conclusion of the relevant
Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjournment of such Meeting) or the
surrender of the receipt issued by the Principal Paying Agent in
respect of such deposited Bonds in accordance with the Bondholder
Meeting Provisions or such Bonds ceasing to be held to the
Principal Paying Agent's order or under its control in connection
with any amendment to the block voting instruction in accordance
with the Bondholder Meeting Provisions.
The relevant Extraordinary Resolution may only
be considered at the relevant Meeting if such Meeting is quorate.
The relevant Meeting will be quorate if at least one or more
persons is or are present at such Meeting holding Bonds or voting
certificates or being proxies or representatives who hold(s) or
represent(s) the requisite principal amount of outstanding Bonds
for the quorum requirement (as set out below across from "Original
Meeting"). If the relevant Meeting is not quorate, it will be
adjourned to a later time and date. When the relevant Meeting
resumes following adjournment, the Bond Trust Deed makes provision
for a lower quorum requirement (as set out below across from
"Adjourned Meeting").
If, within 15 minutes (or such longer period
not exceeding 30 minutes as the chairperson may decide) of the time
fixed for the relevant Meeting, a quorum is not present, such
Meeting shall be adjourned for such period, being not less than 13
clear days nor more than 42 clear days, and to such place as may be
appointed by the chairperson of such Meeting either at or
subsequent to such Meeting and approved by the Bond
Trustee.
The quorum requirement is as
follows:

so required by the chairperson, be decided in the first instance by
a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of
the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairperson, the
Issuer, the Guarantors, the Bond Trustee or by any person present
holding Definitive Bearer Bonds or Definitive Registered Bonds or
voting certificates or being proxies or representatives whatever
the nominal amount of the relevant Bonds so held or represented by
them. On a show of hands, every person who is present in person and
who is holding Definitive Bearer Bonds or Definitive Registered
Bonds or voting certificates or is a proxy or representative shall
have one vote.
On a poll, every person who is so present shall
have one vote in respect of each £1 or such other amount as the
Bond Trustee may in its absolute discretion stipulate (or, in the
case of meetings of holders of Bonds denominated in another
currency, such amount in such other currency as the Bond Trustee in
its absolute discretion may stipulate) in nominal amount of the
Definitive Bearer Bonds so produced or represented by the voting
certificate so produced or in respect of which they are proxy or
representative.
In case of equality of votes, the chairperson
shall, both on a show of hands and on a poll, have a casting vote
in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which they may be
entitled as a Bondholder or as a holder of a voting certificate or
as a proxy or representative.
Votes in favour of each Extraordinary
Resolution must represent a majority of the votes cast, consisting
of not less than three-quarters of the persons thereat upon a show
of hands or if a poll is duly demanded by a majority consisting of
not less than three-quarters of the votes cast on such poll, for
each Extraordinary Resolution to be duly passed.
