The information relating to the Offer that can be accessed via this part of the website is being made available in good faith and for information purposes only, and access to such information is granted on, and subject to, these terms and conditions. Any person seeking access to this part of the website represents and warrants to the Company that they are doing so legally and for information purposes only. Making information relating to the Offer available in electronic format on this part of the website is not intended to, and does not, constitute or form a part of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to the Offer or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of the securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.
If you are in doubt about the contents of this area of the website or the action you should take, you should seek your own financial advice from an independent financial adviser authorized under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 or, if you are located outside the United Kingdom ("UK"), from an appropriately authorized independent financial adviser as to the suitability of any action.
If you are a Company shareholder (or option holder) you should take no action based on the information available on this part of the website. Any action required by Company shareholders (or option holders) in connection with the Offer will only be set out in documents sent to or made available to Company shareholders (or option holders) and any decision made by such shareholders (or option holders) should be made solely and only on the basis of information provided in those documents. If commenced, the Offer would be made solely by way of a document containing the full terms and conditions of the Offer, including details of how to act in respect of the Offer. Any decision in respect of, or other response to, the Offer should be made solely and only on the basis of the information provided in any such document.
The information contained in this part of the website is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, all other publicly available information and, where relevant, any further disclosure document(s) published by the Company or CRT.
The Offer relates to the shares of an English company that does not have a class of securities registered, or required to be registered under Section 12 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "US Exchange Act") and may be made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to United States tender offer or proxy solicitation laws under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Offer may be subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the United States ("US") tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. However, if the Offer were to be implemented by means of a tender offer, such tender offer shall be made in compliance with all applicable US laws and regulations, including the US Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any applicable exemptions.
The financial information contained in this part of the website may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US. It may be difficult for US shareholders of CRT to prosecute any claim against CRT which is predicated upon or otherwise arises out of US federal, state or local laws, as CRT is located in a non-US jurisdiction, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of non-US jurisdictions. In particular, holders of CRT shares may not be able to sue CRT or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US federal, state or local securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel CRT and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment.
Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any US state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Offer or otherwise passed, commented upon, or reviewed any of the information contained on this website.
Certain of the documents contained in this part of the website, oral statements made regarding the Offer and other information published by the Company and/or CRT may contain certain trends, expectations, forecasts, estimates, or other forward-looking information affecting or relating to the Company or CRT or their respective industry, products or activities. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the respective documents in which they are made and may often, but not always, be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as "may," "will," "expects," "believes," "hopes," "anticipates," "aims," "plans," "estimates," "projects," "targets," "intends," "forecasts," "outlook," "impact," "potential," "confidence," "improve," "continue," "optimistic," "deliver," "comfortable," "trend," and "seeks," or phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "could," "should," "would," or "might" be taken, or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by the Company and/or CRT, as the case may be, in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors that they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements are unknown.
Many important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, disruption of production or supplies, changes in market conditions, political events, pending or future claims or litigation, competitive factors, technology advances, actions of regulatory agencies, future exchange and interest rates and changes in laws, government regulations or the application or interpretation thereof. Other risk factors are described herein and in the Company and CRT's other respective filings, including CRT' annual report and accounts for the year ended December 31, 2023. Many of these important factors are outside of the Company's or, as the case may be, CRT' control. No assurances can be provided as to any result or the timing of any outcome regarding matters described herein or otherwise with respect to any regulatory action, administrative proceedings, government investigations, litigation, cost reductions, business strategies, earnings or revenue trends or future financial results. Other potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (a) the receipt of approval of CRT' shareholders; (b) any regulatory approvals required for the transaction not being obtained, or not being obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule; (c) the parties' ability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the transaction; (d) the economic uncertainty and challenges in the economy resulting from the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the conflict in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, (e) the possibility that the parties may be unable to any achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the transaction within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate CRT' operations into those of the Company; (f) the integration of CRT' operations into those of the Company being more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (g) operating costs and business disruption, including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees or CRT or its investment manager and others, being greater than expected following the transaction; (h) the retention of certain key personnel at CRT' investment manager being difficult; (i) changes in tax laws or interpretations that could increase tax liabilities, including, if the transaction is consummated; (j) the possibility that business initiatives will take longer, cost more or produce lower benefits than anticipated; (k) the possibility that application of or compliance with laws, court rulings, certifications, regulations, regulatory actions, or other requirements or standards may delay, limit, prevent or otherwise affect performance, results, prospects or value; (l) the potential of international unrest, economic downturn or effects of currencies, tax assessments, adjustments or anticipated rates, benefit or retirement plan costs, or other regulatory compliance costs; (m) the possibility that anticipated growth, cost savings, performance or approvals, or other results may not be achieved, or that regulatory, governmental, or other issues or risks associated with the Company and CRT' respective businesses, industry or initiatives may adversely impact performance, results, prospects or value; (n) the possibility that anticipated financial results or benefits of recent acquisitions will not be realized or will be other than anticipated; and (o) the effects of contractions in credit availability, as well as the ability of the Company and CRT to adequately access the credit markets when needed.
Given the risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties mentioned materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the relevant documents. The Company, CRT and their affiliated companies assume no obligation to update or correct the information contained in the documents in this part of the website, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required. The statements contained in the documents in this part of the website are made as at the date of such documents, unless some other time is specified in relation to them, and service of the relevant documents shall not give rise to any implication that there has been no change in the facts set out in such documents since such date(s).
Save as otherwise expressly stated in any relevant information, no statement in this part of the website or the information contained herein is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this part of the website or the information contained herein should be interpreted to mean that the future earnings per CRT share for current or future financial years will necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per CRT share.
In relation to any document, announcement or information contained in this part of the website, the only responsibility accepted by the officers and directors of the Companyis that it is correctly and fairly reproduced or presented, unless a statement of further responsibility in any relevant document expressly provides otherwise.
Documents included in this part of the website speak only at the specified date of the relevant document.

None of the directors of the Company or its affiliated companies have reviewed, and none of them shall have any responsibility for, or accepts any liability in respect of, any information on any other website that may be linked to this website by a third party.
