An 'opening position disclosure' must contain the details specified in Rule 8.6(a) of the Irish Takeover Rules, including details of the person's interests and short positions in any 'relevant securities' of the Company. Relevant persons who deal in any 'relevant securities' of the Company prior to the deadline for making an 'opening position disclosure' must instead make a dealing disclosure as described below. Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Irish Takeover Rules, any person 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of the Company must disclose all 'dealings' in such 'relevant securities' during the 'offer period'. The disclosure of a 'dealing' in 'relevant securities' by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (Irish/UK time) on the business day following the date of the transaction. A dealing disclosure must contain the details specified in Rule 8.6(b) of the Irish Takeover Rules, including details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in any 'relevant securities' of the Company. The Company is a public limited company incorporated in Ireland with relevant securities listed and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and on the Cyprus Stock Exchange. As a result, any transaction to acquire the Company which constitutes a "takeover bid" (as defined in Directive 2004/25/EC (the "Takeover Bids Directive")) will be subject to the shared jurisdiction of the Irish Takeover Panel and the Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission in line with the procedures set out in Article 4 of the Takeover Bids Directive, as implemented in Ireland and Cyprus. Any transaction to acquire control of the Company which proceeds otherwise than by way of takeover bid will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish Takeover Panel under the Irish Takeover Rules. Prior to a determination being made as to the manner in which any transaction to acquire the Company would be implemented, the possible offer is subject to the jurisdiction of both the Irish Takeover Panel and the Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission. There is no certainty that any formal offer to acquire the Company will be made nor as to the terms on which any offer might be made. In addition, Lone Star must make an 'opening position disclosure' by no later than 12.00 (noon) (Irish/UK time) on 2 September 2022 and disclose details of any 'dealings' by it or any person 'acting in concert' with it in 'relevant securities' of the Company by no later than 12.00 (noon) (Irish/UK time) on the business day following the date of the transaction. All 'dealings' in 'relevant securities' of the Company by Lone Star, or by any party acting in concert with Lone Star, must also be disclosed by no later than 12 noon (Irish/UK time) on the 'business' day following the date of the relevant transaction. If two or more persons co-operate on the basis of an agreement, either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire for one or more of them an interest in relevant securities, they will be deemed to be a single person for these purposes. 3
