Adjustment 1: as a result of a Cash Dividend Shortfall (effective 10 April 2024):
As a result of the Issuer having paid no dividend during the Relevant Period from (and including) 1 October

- the Exchange Property per Bond to which the holder of GBP 100,000 principal amount of Bonds would
be entitled upon exercise of the Exchange Right in respect of such Bond was 46,185.0133
Shaftesbury Capital Shares.

Furthermore, the Issuer declared a final dividend of GBP 0.0165 per Shaftesbury Capital Share (a "Cash
Dividend"), which was paid to holders of Shaftesbury Capital Shares on 31 May 2024.
On 5 March 2024, the Issuer duly notified Bondholders that payment of such Cash Dividend would result in
the occurrence of a Capital Distribution in accordance with the definition thereof, as well as its decision not

Consequently, and in accordance with the notice to Bondholders dated 5 March 2024 and Condition 8(c), the

Property shall therefore comprise 127,008,786.5254 Shaftesbury Capital Shares and GBP
183,666.0788 of cash; and
- the Exchange Property per Bond to which the holder of GBP 100,000 principal amount of Bonds would
be entitled upon exercise of the Exchange Right in respect of such Bond is 46,185.0133 Shaftesbury
Capital Shares and GBP 66.7877 of cash.
As a result of both adjustment events:
- 1,342,002 Shaftesbury Shares will be released from the Security pursuant to Condition 2(d)(iv); and
