last day to trade, participate in the Scheme (i.e. dispose of their Litha ordinary shares to Paladin in accordance
with the terms of the Scheme).

CSDP or Broker with their instructions for voting at the Scheme Meeting by the cut-off time and date stipulated

least 48 hours before the commencement of the Scheme Meeting may submit the form of proxy to the chairman
of the Scheme Meeting before the appointed proxy exercises any of the relevant Remaining Shareholders’ rights

remain valid in respect of any adjournment or postponement of the Scheme Meeting.
