Item 1 Comment:
Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on September 2, 2021, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No.1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on September 5, 2024, and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on November 24, 2025 (the "Original Schedule 13D" and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, this "Schedule 13D"). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.
This Schedule 13D relates to the Class A Ordinary Shares, nominal value of $0.0001 per share (the "Shares") of ReNew Energy Global plc, a public limited company registered in England and Wales with registered number 13220321 (the "Issuer"). The Issuer's registered office is located at c/o Vistra (UK) Ltd, Suite 3, 7th Floor, 50 Broadway, London SW1H 0DB, United Kingdom. | ||
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
This Amendment amends and supplements Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D by adding the following:
Transaction Agreement
On August 11, 2026, the Issuer and a consortium comprising CPP Investments and the founder, Chairman and CEO of the Issuer, Mr. Sumant Sinha (together with CPP Investments, the "Consortium") entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement"). Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, each Share of the Issuer that is not held by the Consortium and their respective affiliates, not held as a treasury share by the Issuer and not a Rollover Share (as defined below) will be transferred to CPP Investments, for cash consideration of US$7.02 per share, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes (the "Consideration"), to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement sanctioned by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the "Court") under Part 26 of the U.K. Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme" and together with related transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the "Transaction").
Rather than receiving the Consideration in cash, each shareholder of the Issuer (other than any shareholder residing in India, who may not elect to participate in the Rollover as defined below) may elect to retain all of its shares of the Issuer, which will remain outstanding following the Scheme and in respect of which no Consideration or other distributions will be paid (a "Rollover", the shares so retained (and subject to the cutbacks described in the Transaction Agreement), the "Rollover Shares", and any Issuer shareholder holding any Rollover Shares, a "Rollover Shareholder").
Irrevocable Undertaking
In connection with the Transaction, JERA Power RN B.V. ("JERA Power") has delivered an irrevocable undertaking in favor of the Consortium (the "Irrevocable Undertaking"). Pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking, JERA Power undertakes, among other things, to: (i) exercise (or procure the exercise of) all voting rights attaching to its Shares in favor of the Scheme, the Transaction and the related resolutions (and against any resolution to adjourn the relevant shareholder meetings, amend the Scheme, or which is likely to result in a condition of the Scheme not being fulfilled, impede or frustrate the Scheme, or prevent the Scheme from becoming effective); (ii) if the Transaction is implemented by way of a takeover offer, accept that offer in respect of its Shares; (iii) elect to participate in the Rollover in respect of all of its Shares; (iv) refrain from disposing of, or dealing in, its Shares, from acquiring further securities in the Issuer, from entering into third-party arrangements relating to its Shares and from taking any action that would restrict its ability to control the exercise of rights attaching to its Shares, in each case, other than pursuant to the Transaction; and (v) cooperate in the implementation of the Reorganization of the Issuer (as defined below) to be undertaken after the Effective Time of the Scheme (as defined below) and enter into the related Reorganization Deed (as defined below) and the Shareholders' Agreement (as defined below) to be entered into in connection with the Transaction, and provide reasonable cooperation in connection with obtaining required regulatory clearances (subject to customary confidentiality and privilege carve-outs). The Irrevocable Undertaking will lapse in specified circumstances, including if the Transaction Agreement is terminated, if the Scheme lapses or is withdrawn, if the Scheme is not effective (or the offer is not unconditional) by the specified long-stop time, or if a competing offer for the entire issued and to-be-issued share capital of the Issuer becomes effective or is declared unconditional.
The foregoing description of the Irrevocable Undertaking does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Irrevocable Undertaking, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.8 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act, by virtue of the Irrevocable Undertaking described in this Schedule 13D, the Consortium may be deemed to be a member of a "group" with JERA Power. However, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by the Consortium, their affiliates or any other reporting person(s). Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons beneficially own any Shares that are beneficially owned by the Consortium, their affiliates or any other reporting person(s). The Reporting Persons are only responsible for the information contained in this Schedule 13D and assume no responsibility for information contained in any other Schedule 13D filed by the Consortium, their affiliates or any other reporting person(s).
Reorganization and Form of Reorganization Deed
Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, the Consortium has agreed with JERA Power the form of the Reorganization Deed and the form of the steps plan attached thereto (the "Reorganization Deed"). The Reorganization Deed, which will come into effect at the time at which an order of the Court sanctioning the Scheme is delivered to the Registrar of Companies (the "Effective Time", and the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the "Effective Date"), is the legal framework agreement that will bind the Consortium and Rollover Shareholders to the legal steps (the "Reorganization Steps") that will be undertaken after the Effective Time to effect a reorganization of the Issuer and its subsidiaries (the "Reorganization"), the result of which will be that all shareholders of the Issuer at the Effective Time will become direct shareholders of ReNew Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("RPL"). The Reorganization Steps include the below steps, to occur in chronological order:
1. Constitutional Amendments. Once consummation of the Transaction has taken place, the share capital of the Issuer, which is currently comprised of four share classes, will be harmonized into a single class of ordinary shares with pari passu voting and economic rights.
2. The 'Re-Domicile'. Once the Issuer has been re-registered as a private company after consummation of the Transaction, it will transfer at fair market value (which, absent any significant delay between consummation of the Transaction and the re-domicile, is expected to be equivalent to the valuation considered for the purpose of the Transaction) its shares in RPL to each of the Issuer's shareholders on a pro rata basis (based on economic, rather than voting rights), which will have the effect of moving their shareholding to RPL directly. The consideration payable by each shareholder of the Issuer for the transfer of the relevant RPL shares to that shareholder will be left outstanding as a debt owed by that shareholder to the Issuer (the "Consideration Debt"). The Issuer will then immediately declare a distribution to each shareholder of an amount equal to that shareholder's Consideration Debt, and the amount owed by the Issuer to the shareholder under that distribution will be set off against the Consideration Debt so that the two amounts cancel out and no shareholder (nor the Issuer) is required to make a cash payment.
The description of the Reorganization and the form of the Reorganization Deed contained in this Item 4 is not intended to be complete. A more detailed description of the Reorganization and the Reorganization Deed will be provided in the Scheme Circular, and a copy of the Reorganization Deed will be attached as an exhibit thereto.
Form of the Shareholders' Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, the Consortium has also agreed to a form of shareholders' agreement, which is expected to be entered into at the Effective Time (the "Shareholders' Agreement") by and among the Consortium and certain other continuing shareholders of the Issuer (and the applicable affiliates of the foregoing) that will hold the Rollover Shares (collectively, the "Investors"). The Shareholders' Agreement will govern the ownership and control of the Issuer from and after the Effective Time until the completion of the Reorganization, and RPL, the primary operating subsidiary of the Issuer, from and after the completion of the Reorganization, and will contain, among others, the following material terms (any reference to RPL below is also a reference to the Issuer for the period from and after the Effective Time until the completion of the Reorganization):
Governance
o Director Appointment Rights: The board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board") and, following completion of the Reorganization Steps, RPL will consist of the number of directors appointed in accordance with the following provisions: (i) the Investor who holds (A) an aggregate ownership interest in RPL or Issuer (as applicable) of more than 50% (on a non-diluted basis), or (B) an aggregate ownership interest of 40% or more and is the single largest ownership interest in RPL or Issuer (as applicable) (on a non-diluted basis) (in either case, the "Controlling Investor") will be entitled to appoint an unlimited number of directors to the Board; (ii) each Investor holding 10% or more of the ownership interest in RPL (on a non-diluted basis) (to the extent not already entitled to appoint an unlimited number of directors under the preceding clause) will be entitled to appoint one director to the Board; (iii) an Investor holding less than 10% of the ownership interest in RPL (on a non-diluted basis) will not hold any director appointment rights; (iv) Mr. Sinha will be entitled to serve as a director on the Board, subject to certain sunset provisions set forth in the Shareholders' Agreement; and (v) any Investor holding 5% or more of the ownership interest in RPL (on a non-diluted basis) will be entitled to appoint a non-voting observer to the Board.
Reserved Matters
o The Shareholders' Agreement contains customary "reserved matters" provisions, which require the approval of at least 87.6% of the ownership interests in RPL (on a non-diluted basis), in some cases, and at least 95% of the ownership interests in RPL (on a non-diluted basis), in other cases, prior to RPL taking certain specified actions set forth in the Shareholders' Agreement.
Transfer Restrictions
o The Shareholders' Agreement contains a three-year lock-up binding on all Investors (other than the Controlling Investor), as well as a right of first offer in favor of the Controlling Investor and tag/drag-along rights in respect of transfers by the Controlling Investor.
Indian IPO
o Within 12 months following the Effective Time, the Board will establish a "Strategic Options Committee" comprised of at least five members, to include (i) Mr. Sinha (for as long as he remains a director), (ii) one member appointed by each Investor holding 12.5% or more of the ownership interests in RPL (on a non-diluted basis) and (iii) a remaining number, sufficient to comprise a majority, appointed by the Controlling Investor, to oversee preparation for the admission of RPL's ordinary shares to a recognized stock exchange.
The description of the form of the Shareholders' Agreement contained in this Item 4 is not intended to be complete. A more detailed description of the form of the Shareholders' Agreement will be provided in the Scheme Circular, and a copy of the form of the Shareholders' Agreement will be attached as an exhibit thereto.
Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals of the type referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D that relate to their investment in the Issuer, although they and their affiliates reserve the right to formulate such plans or proposals in the future. If the Transaction does not proceed, the Reporting Persons will continue to regularly review and assess their investment in the Issuer and depending on market conditions, general economic and industry conditions, the Issuer's business and financial condition and/or other relevant factors, the Reporting Persons may or may not: (i) purchase or sell the Shares or other securities of the Issuer in the future on the open market or in private transactions, or (ii) determine, from time to time, to engage in any of the events set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. | ||

| (i) | comprising the steps contained in the legal reorganisation and legal steps plans substantially in the form set out in Annex 3 in all material respects (the “Legal Reorganisation and Legal Steps Plans”); |

(together, the “Transaction”).
| 1.2 | Certain terms used in this undertaking are defined in Clause 15 below. |

| 4. | Voting in favour of the Scheme |
| 4.1 | Unless and until this undertaking lapses in accordance with Clause 11 and subject to Clause 2.1 and Clause 4.3: |
| (a) | for as long as the Consortium elects to implement the Acquisition by way of the Scheme, we irrevocably undertake to each member of the Consortium to exercise or, where applicable, procure the exercise of, all voting rights attaching to the Relevant Securities at: |
| (i) | any meeting of the Target’s shareholders convened by order of the Court (including any adjournment thereof) in connection with the Scheme (the “Court Meeting”); and |
| (ii) | any general meeting of the Target (including any adjournment thereof) directly in connection with the Scheme (the “GM”), |
in favour of the Scheme and the Acquisition, including any resolutions required to give effect to the Scheme and the Acquisition and the Scheme Reorganisation Resolutions (as defined in Clause 8.1(a)) (the “Resolutions”) as set out in the notices of meeting in the circular to be sent to shareholders of the Target containing an explanatory statement in respect of the Scheme (the “Scheme Document”) and against any resolution to adjourn the Court Meeting or the GM or to amend the Scheme or Acquisition or which, if passed, is likely to result in any condition of the Scheme or Acquisition not being fulfilled or which is likely to impede or frustrate the Scheme or Acquisition in any way or prevent the Scheme or Acquisition from becoming effective;
| (b) | we undertake to each member of the Consortium to exercise or procure the registered holder to exercise, all rights attaching to the Relevant Securities to requisition or join in the requisitioning of any general meeting of the Target for the purposes of voting on any resolution referred to under Clause 4.1(a) above, or to require the Target to give notice of any meeting, in accordance with WOS’s instructions; and |
| (c) | without prejudice to Clause 4.1(a), we shall, after the posting of the Scheme Document to the Target’s shareholders, and without prejudice to our right to attend and vote in person at the Court Meeting and the GM: |
| (i) | return, or procure the return of, the signed forms of proxy enclosed with the Scheme Document or the equivalent documents relevant to the voting of depositary receipts in the Target, (completed, signed and voting in favour of the Scheme and the Resolutions (including the Scheme Reorganisation Resolutions), in accordance with the instructions printed on the forms of proxy (or relevant equivalent document) as soon as possible and in any event within seven Business Days after the date of posting of the Scheme Document; and |
| (ii) | not revoke or withdraw the forms of proxy (or relevant equivalent document) once they have been returned in accordance with Clause 4.1(c)(i). |
| 4.2 | In the event that we acquire any interest in Relevant Securities after the date of this undertaking, the obligations in Clause 4.1 shall apply in relation to those securities save that the obligation in Clause 4.1(c)(ii) shall apply from the date of acquisition by us of such Relevant Securities. |
| 4.3 | Our obligations under this Clause 4 are conditional on the terms of the Scheme Document being consistent in all material respects: (a) with the Acquisition and the Reorganisation (as described above); and (b) as it relates to consideration, the Rollover and conditionality, with the Transaction Agreement and the Announcement, subject only to any differences we have consented to in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). |
| 5. | Offer |
| 5.1 | We acknowledge that the Consortium has reserved the right to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer with the consent of the Target. |
| 5.2 | Unless and until the obligations under this undertaking lapse in accordance with Clause 11 and subject to Clause 2.1, Clause 5.4 and Clause 5.5, in the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, we confirm and agree that this undertaking shall continue to be binding in respect of the Relevant Securities and all references to the Scheme shall, where the context permits, be read as references to the Offer. |
| 5.3 | In particular, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, references in this undertaking to: |
| (a) | voting (or procuring the voting) in favour of the Scheme and the resolutions to be proposed at the Court and/or shareholder meetings in person or by proxy shall be read and construed as accepting the Offer, which acceptances in such circumstances shall be tendered as soon as possible and in any event by no later than 3:00 pm (London time) on the fifth Business Day after despatch to Target shareholders of the formal document containing the full terms and conditions of the Offer (the “Offer Document”) and not withdrawing, or procuring the withdrawal of acceptances in respect of the Relevant Securities; |
| (b) | the Scheme becoming effective shall be read as references to the Offer becoming unconditional; |
| (c) | the Scheme lapsing or being withdrawn shall be read as references to the withdrawal, closing or lapsing of the Offer; and |
| (d) | the Scheme Document shall be read as references to the Offer Document. |
| 5.4 | Our obligations under this Clause 5 are conditional on our being satisfied (acting reasonably) that the Offer has been structured such that: |
| (a) | we are still able to participate in the Rollover; |
| (b) | the Reorganisation will still be implemented on substantially similar terms; |
| (c) | following completion of the Offer and implementation of the Reorganisation, we will be a shareholder of RPL and we and all other shareholders of RPL will be bound by the SHA on substantially similar terms; and |
| (d) | we, or any of our Affiliates, will not be in a materially worse tax position than we would have been in had the Acquisition been implemented via the Scheme. |
| 5.5 | Our obligations under this Clause 5 are also conditional on the terms of the Offer Document being materially consistent with the Transaction Agreement and the Announcement, subject only to any differences we have consented to in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or where the inconsistency solely arises by reason of the Acquisition being implemented by Offer rather than by Scheme. |
| 6. | Dealings in Relevant Securities |
We undertake to each member of the Consortium that we will not, other than in favour of WOS, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries or Affiliates, pursuant to the Scheme or Offer itself or pursuant to the Reorganisation itself, prior to: (i) the withdrawal or lapsing of the Scheme in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement; (ii) the termination of the Transaction Agreement; or (iii) the lapsing of these undertakings in accordance with Clause 11 (whichever is earlier) without the written consent of WOS:
| (a) | sell, transfer, charge, encumber, grant any option over or otherwise dispose of or permit the sale, transfer, charging or other disposition or creation or grant of any other encumbrance or option of or over all or any of the Relevant Securities or interest in any Relevant Securities except pursuant to the Transaction, or accept any other offer in respect of all or any Relevant Securities; |
| (b) | purchase or otherwise acquire (or encourage any other person to so deal in, purchase or acquire other than in accordance with the terms of the Transaction) any other securities in the Target or any interest therein or rights to acquire or subscribe for securities in the Target (including any options or derivatives), other than to the extent that they will become Relevant Securities in accordance with the terms of this undertaking; |
| (c) | enter into any undertaking or agreement with any third party relating to any Relevant Securities or any interest in them, including (without limitation) any agreement that could prevent us from complying with our obligations under Clause 7 below; |
| (d) | restrict, constrain or remove our ability to control the exercise of all rights attaching to, including voting rights of, the Relevant Securities, whether conditionally or unconditionally; or |
| (e) | other than pursuant to the Transaction, enter into any agreement or arrangement or permit any agreement or arrangement to be entered into or incur any obligation or permit any obligation to arise: |
| (i) | to do all or any of the acts referred to in Clauses (a) to (d) (inclusive) above; or |
| (ii) | which would or might restrict or impede us voting in favour of the Scheme or accepting the Offer, or be otherwise prejudicial to, the Transaction in respect of the Relevant Securities, |
and for the avoidance of doubt, references in this Clause 6 to any agreement, arrangement or obligation shall include any such agreement, arrangement or obligation whether or not subject to any conditions, or which is to take effect upon or following withdrawal or lapsing of the Scheme and/or the termination of the Transaction Agreement, or upon or following this undertaking ceasing to be binding, or upon or following any other event.
| 7. | Electing to participate in the Rollover |
| 7.1 | Unless and until this undertaking lapses in accordance with Clause 11, we irrevocably undertake (whether implemented by way of a Scheme or an Offer, but subject always to Clause 5.4 in the case of an Offer) to each member of the Consortium to: |
| (a) | validly elect to participate in the Rollover in respect of all of the Relevant Securities, including by duly completing, signing and delivering to the Consortium a written notice, in the form to be set out in the Scheme Document (a “Rollover Election Notice”) stating such election, provided that the Rollover Election Notice is received by the Consortium no later than five Business Days prior to the Court Meeting (the “Rollover Election Deadline”); and |
| (b) | subject to the terms of the Scheme, not revoke, withdraw, vary or amend such election without the prior written consent of the Consortium. |
| 8. | The Reorganisation |
| 8.1 | Unless and until this undertaking lapses in accordance with Clause 11, we irrevocably undertake to each member of the Consortium to: |
| (a) | vote in favour of any shareholder resolutions and/or vote in favour of any class consent and/or give any consent to the holding of general meetings on short notice in relation to the following steps in the Legal Reorganisation Steps Plan (provided that such matters occur as part of the GM and prior to entry into the Reorganisation Deed as set out in the Legal Reorganisation Steps Plan): |
| (i) | the variation of the Class C shares of the Target to have the same or substantially equivalent rights to the Class A shares of the Target; |
| (ii) | the variation of the articles of association of the Target to permit non-pro rata distribution to facilitate the distributions contemplated by step 7(c) of the Legal Reorganisation Steps Plan; and |
| (iii) | the variation of the articles of association of the Target to permit the implementation of the “Appointer Structure” for compliance with the rule under Section 13 of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Regulations, SOR/99-190 that CPPIB may not, directly or indirectly, invest in the securities of a corporation to which are attached more than 30% of the votes that may be cast to elect the directors of that corporation, |
(the “Scheme Reorganisation Resolutions”);
| (b) | enter into each of the SHA and the Reorganisation Deed; and |
| (c) | subject to Clause 8.2, cooperate with each member of the Consortium in connection with obtaining clearance from the Competition Commission of India under the Competition Act, 2002 that is necessary to satisfy the Indian Competition Approval (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) to the Transaction (the “Clearance”), including by: |
| (i) | providing, in a timely manner, such information and such assistance as may be reasonably required for the purposes of preparing and making any filings, notifications or submissions to the Competition Commission of India as are necessary or expedient in connection with obtaining the Clearance, taking into account all applicable waiting periods; |
| (ii) | promptly making any filings, notifications or submissions that we are required to make to the Competition Commission of India in connection with the Clearance; |
| (iii) | promptly providing to each member of the Consortium copies of any material correspondence and material communications (including, in the case of material non-written communications, reasonably detailed summaries of such communications) received by us from the Competition Commission of India in connection with the Clearance; and |
| (iv) | where reasonably requested by each member of the Consortium, making available appropriate representatives for meetings, hearings and calls with the Competition Commission of India in connection with obtaining the Clearance. |
| 8.2 | Nothing in these undertakings shall require us to provide any information to the Consortium or the Competition Commission of India: |
| (a) | that is not strictly necessary in order to achieve the Clearance (noting that, if it is unclear whether information is strictly necessary, we will work with the Consortium and your advisers, who may reasonably need to consult directly with the Competition Commission of India, to determine this); |
| (b) | that is not in our possession or reasonably obtainable by us which, for the avoidance of doubt, could include information relating to Tokyo Electric Power Company or Chubu Electric Power, although if any such information is required by the Competition Commission of India for grant of its approval we will use all reasonable endeavours to obtain it; or |
| (c) | which we are not permitted to provide pursuant to Applicable Law as defined in the Transaction Agreement or contractual obligation or which is subject to any legal privilege in favour of us (provided that we shall use all reasonable endeavours to make substitute arrangements or permit such disclosure in a manner that would not violate such restrictions or jeopardize such legal privilege). |
| 9. | Shareholder Actions |
| 9.1 | Prior to: (i) the withdrawal or lapsing of the Scheme; (ii) the termination of the Transaction Agreement; or (iii) the lapsing of these undertakings in accordance with Clause 11 (whichever is earlier), we will not, in any capacity as a shareholder, without the consent of WOS, requisition solely or jointly, any general or class meeting of the Target. |
| 9.2 | Prior to: (i) the withdrawal or lapsing of the Scheme; (ii) the termination of the Transaction Agreement; or (iii) the lapsing of these undertakings in accordance with Clause 11 (whichever is earlier), we will exercise or procure the exercise, by proxy or in person, of the votes attaching to the Relevant Securities in respect of any resolution proposed at any general or class meeting of the Target, or at any adjournment thereof (a “Relevant Resolution”): |
| (a) | in favour of any such resolution the passing of which is necessary to fulfil any condition of the Scheme; |
| (b) | against any such resolution whose passing is required in connection with any offer for Target securities that is made by a person other than the Consortium, CPPIB or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries or Affiliates; and |
| (c) | against any such resolution which, if passed, might result in any condition of the Scheme not being fulfilled or which might impede or frustrate the Scheme in any way. |
We acknowledge and accept that any resolution to adjourn a general or class meeting of the Target whose business includes the consideration of a Relevant Resolution, and a resolution to amend a Relevant Resolution, is also a Relevant Resolution.
| 10. | Disclosure |
| 10.1 | We consent to the issue of the Announcement substantially in the form set out in Annex 2. |
| 10.2 | We understand and accept that, if the Acquisition is made, this undertaking, the SHA and the Reorganisation Deed will be made available for inspection during the Scheme and that particulars of it will be contained in the Scheme Document. |
| 10.3 | We undertake to provide to WOS on written request within a reasonable period all such further information at our disposal in relation to our interests, and those of any person connected with us, in securities of the Target as WOS may reasonably require in order to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements for inclusion in the Scheme Document (or any other document reasonably required in connection with the Scheme), and we will notify WOS in writing of any material change in the accuracy or import of any information previously supplied to WOS by us as soon as reasonably practicable. |
| 11. | Lapse of Undertaking |
| 11.1 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this undertaking, all our obligations under this undertaking shall lapse and shall cease to have any effect if: |

| (b) | the Announcement has not been made on or before 8:00 am (London time) on 12 August 2026 or such later time and date as the Target, the Consortium and we may agree in writing; |
| (c) | the Transaction Agreement is amended or varied without our prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); |
| (d) | the Transaction Agreement is terminated by any party thereto prior to the completion of the Scheme or Offer; |
| (e) | the Scheme Document is published in a form that is not consistent in all material respects (i) with the Acquisition and the Reorganisation (as described above); and (ii) as it relates to consideration, the Rollover and conditionality, the Transaction Agreement and the Announcement, subject only to any differences we have consented to in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); |
| (f) | the Consortium announces that it does not intend to make or proceed with the Transaction either on the terms set out in the Transaction Agreement and the Announcement or at all; |
| (g) | the Scheme lapses or is withdrawn provided that this Clause 11.1(g) shall not apply where the Scheme is withdrawn or lapses solely as a result of the Consortium exercising its right to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer rather than a Scheme; |
| (h) | if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the Offer Document is published in a form which is not consistent in all material respects with the Transaction Agreement and the Announcement, or is amended, varied or supplemented, such that as amended, varied or supplemented, it is not consistent in all material respects with the Transaction Agreement and the Announcement, other than with our prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or where the inconsistency solely arises by reason of the Acquisition being implemented by Offer rather than by Scheme; |
| (i) | the Scheme has not become effective, or if applicable the Offer has not become unconditional in all respects, by 5:30 pm (London time) on the later of (i) 31 March 2027 and (ii) 95 days following the publication of the Scheme Document, or such later time or date as the Target, the Consortium and we may agree in writing; |
| (j) | any competing offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Target is declared unconditional or, if proceeding by way of a scheme of arrangement, becomes effective in accordance with its terms; or |
| (k) | the SHA and the Reorganisation Deed have not been executed by all parties thereto substantially in the form set out in Annex 4 and Annex 5 respectively on the date that the Scheme becomes effective or such other date as agreed in writing by the Target, the Consortium and us. |
| 11.2 | If this undertaking lapses, we shall have no claim against each member of the Consortium and each member of the Consortium shall have no claim against us, including in relation to any prior breach(es). |
| 11.3 | If this undertaking lapses, Clause 11.2, Clauses 14.4 to 14.6 and Clause 15 shall continue in effect. |
| 12. | Power of Attorney |
We hereby irrevocably and by way of security for the performance of our obligations set out in this undertaking appoint WOS and any director of WOS and/or Bill Rogers (as an authorised representative of WOS) severally to be our attorney, if we do not perform our obligations under this undertaking when due, to:
| (a) | execute as a deed and deliver on our behalf forms of proxy to be issued with the Scheme Document in respect of the Relevant Securities; and |
| (b) | sign, execute and deliver: |
| (i) | any documents as may be necessary for or incidental to the voting in favour of the Scheme in respect of the Relevant Securities, and/or for giving full effect to Clauses 4 and 7 of this undertaking; and |
| (ii) | the SHA and the Reorganisation Deed. |

| 14. | General |

| 14.4 | Nothing in this undertaking is intended to confer on any person any right to enforce any term of this undertaking which that person would not have had but for the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. |
