Results of Tender Offer
The Company offered to purchase up to 110,526,315 Ordinary Shares (being approximately 21.08 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital) under the Tender Offer.
Valid tenders were received for Basic Entitlements in respect of 105,721,869 Ordinary Shares, which will be satisfied in full.
Valid Excess Tenders will be accepted in proportion to the number of Ordinary Shares tendered so that the total number of Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will equal 110,526,315 in aggregate, save that Excess Tenders will be satisfied in full in respect of shareholders holding 1,000 Ordinary Shares or less who have validly tendered their entire holding.
In aggregate, 110,526,315 Ordinary Shares tendered under the Tender Offer will be repurchased by the Company and cancelled.
It is expected that cheques will be despatched and CREST accounts will be credited with proceeds in respect of successfully tendered shares on or before 6 May 2025.
Total Voting Rights

Hence the figure of 413,824,079 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in LDG under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
