capital and voting rights in the Company.
Any objections to, or rejection of, the offered redemption price must be made no

object to, or reject, the offered redemption price within this deadline, will be
deemed to have accepted the redemption price. A letter regarding the compulsory
acquisition will be sent to all former shareholders of the Company with known
address and whose shares have been acquired by way of the compulsory
