         advised that the Company has purchased an additional 16 057 601 of its own ordinary shares being 1,87%
         which, together with the previous repurchase equals 6,53% of the Company’s issued share capital as at

         on 1 July 2020 (the “General Repurchase”).
         In terms of the general authority granted by shareholders at the Group’s annual general meeting held on
