Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the REX Retail Offer Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the REX Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the REX Retail Offer Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the REX Retail Offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Peel Hunt LLP will only contact prospective applicants for participation in the REX Retail Offer who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU or the UK MiFID Laws; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the REX Retail Offer Shares.
