On February 1, 2016, the Preferred Shares will become exchangeable at Amaya''s option upon 35 days'' advance written notice for 8,240,000 Ordinary Shares. This requires today''s filing of the EWR. The number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preferred Shares are exchangeable will be adjusted over time as indicated in the EWR.
Assuming (i) the exchange of the Preferred Shares and (ii) the conversion of the principal amount of the Debentures and all interest accrued thereon, in each case on the date hereof, on the basis of 50,634,896 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, Amaya would have beneficial ownership of and control or direction over approximately 18.00% of NYX''s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Assuming (i) the exchange of all of the Preferred Shares and (ii) the conversion of the principal amount of the Debentures and all interest accrued thereon, in each case as at February 1, 2016, and the same number of Ordinary Shares outstanding, Amaya would have beneficial ownership of and control or direction over approximately 18.35% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (on a partially diluted basis).
