Details on restrictions on the transfer of AIM securities

Restrictions on the transfer of Endace shares are set out in full in the Company’s Constitution. In summary, the Board may decline to register any shares where (i) the Company has a lien on any of the shares; or (ii) the shares are not fully paid up; or (iii) the transfer is not accompanied by the certificate (if any) for the shares to which it relates or other evidence as the Board may reasonably require; or (iv) the effect of the transfer would be to reduce the number of shareholders to less than 50, that by virtue of not having the minimum number of shareholders the Company would cease to be subject to the provisions of the New Zealand Takeovers Code and the transfer is not to a person who has made an offer pursuant to the New Zealand Takeovers Code that is either unconditional or has been declared unconditional. The Board may also decline to register a transfer of shares if they represent at least 0.25% in number of any class and there has been a failure to comply with a notice requiring disclosure of interests in the shares.
