In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rollover Offer, UFL has accepted in full all applications made by Eligible Shareholders and, pursuant to the terms of the Rollover Offer, 15,504,888 new 2020 ZDP Shares will be issued, on the basis of each 2014 ZDP Share converting into 1.6525 2020 ZDP Shares.
