Additional Information
The threshold has been crossed due to the cancellation on 20.5.26 of 598,759 ordinary shares in the issuer bought back by the issuer and previously notified to the market. This reduced the issued share capital of the issuer to 107,572,602 ordinary shares which has consequently increased the overall % of voting rights held by Mr Martin in the issuer.
