appointed as an additional Independent Non- Executive Director to the Board of

The Board approved that recommendation and unanimously resolved to propose to
the shareholders of the Company the appointment of Euan Sutherland as an
additional Independent Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.

 

In accordance with Luxembourg law, his appointment is required to be approved
by a resolution of the shareholders. Accordingly, the Ordinary General Meeting
of the shareholders of the Company to be held on 20 January 2025 is to
