5.2.1 | If and whenever the Company shall make any issue of | |||||||
Shares to its Shareholders credited as fully paid, by way of | ||||||||
capitalisation of profits or reserves (whether of a capital or | ||||||||
income nature and including any capital redemption reserve | ||||||||
fund, other than an issue of Shares to Shareholders who | ||||||||
elect to receive Shares in lieu of cash or other dividend) the | ||||||||
Exercise Price and the number of Warrants held by each | ||||||||
Warrantholder shall be adjusted in the following manner: | ||||||||
New Exercise Price = | A | × P | ||||||
A+B | ||||||||
Adjusted number of Warrants = | A+B | × W | ||||||
A | ||||||||
where:
A = the aggregate number of issued and fully paid-up Shares immediately before such capitalisation issue;
B = the aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to any allotment to Shareholders credited as fully paid by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any capital redemption reserve fund other than an issue of Shares to Shareholders who elect to receive Shares in lieu of cash or other dividend);
P = existing Exercise Price; and
W = existing number of Warrants held (as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with these Conditions).
Such adjustments will be effective (if appropriate, retroactively) from the commencement of the Market Day next following the record date for such issue.
For the purpose of this Condition 5, "record date" in relation to the relevant event means the date as at the close of business on which Shareholders must be registered as such to participate therein.

then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in the following manner:
New Exercise Price = C−CD × P
and in respect of each case referred to in Condition 5.2.2(b) above, the number of Warrants held by each Warrantholder shall be adjusted in the following manner:
Adjusted number of Warrants = C−CD × W
where:
C = the average of the Last Dealt Prices for the five (5) consecutive Market Days immediately before the date on which the Capital Distribution (as defined below), or any offer or invitation referred to in Condition 5.2.2(b) above, as the case may be, is publicly announced or (failing any such
announcement), immediately preceding the date of the Capital Distribution (as defined below) or, as the case may be, of the offer or invitation;
D = (i) in the case of an offer or invitation to acquire or subscribe for Shares by way of rights under Condition 5.2.2(b) above, the value of the rights attributable to one (1) Share (as defined below); or (ii) in the case of any other event falling within Condition 5.2.2 above, the fair market value, as determined by an Approved Bank (with the concurrence of the Auditors) in accordance with Condition 5.12, of that portion of the Capital Distribution (as defined below) attributable to that one (1) Share or of the nil paid rights attributable to one
(1) Share;
P = as in P above; and
W = as in W above.
For the purpose of definition (i) of "D" above, the "value of the rights attributable to one
- Share" shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
C − E
F + 1
where:
C = as in C above;
E = the subscription price for one additional Share under the offer or invitation to acquire or subscribe for Shares by way of rights; and
F = the number of Shares which it is necessary to hold in order to be offered or invited to acquire or
