Furthermore, as previously announced, certain employees of the Company in the United States and Europe, including certain executive officers of the Company, agreed to invest an aggregate of approximately 105,000 ordinary shares of KWE in the Offering. Given the final pricing of the Offering, the employees’ total commitment in the Offering is approximately £1.1 million (approximately $1.7 million).
The Offering will be conducted in two stages: (i) the firm placing period which is scheduled to close on or around October 8, 2014 (“Firm Placing”); and (ii) the open offer period which is scheduled to close on or around October 23, 2014 (“Open Offer”). It is currently contemplated, subject to certain conditions, that the Company will settle approximately £13.3 million of its total commitment (approximately $21.6 million) at the conclusion of the Firm Placing and approximately £33.4 million of its total commitment (approximately $54.0 million) at the conclusion of the Open Offer.
