BY

a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Nuvei Corporation ("Nuvei")

to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part VIII of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended

Results of Shareholder Meetings - 17 July 2019

The Board of SafeCharge is pleased to announce that, at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting held earlier today in connection with the recommended acquisition by Nuvei Bidco of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of SafeCharge to be effected by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part VIII of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended (the "Scheme"), SafeCharge Shareholders voted to:

·      approve the Scheme by the requisite majority of the Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting; and

·      pass the special resolution (the "Resolution") in connection with the amendment of SafeCharge's articles of incorporation and the implementation of the Scheme by the requisite majority at the General Meeting.

Details of the resolutions passed are set out in the notices of the Court Meeting and General Meeting contained in the scheme document dated 19 June 2019 sent or otherwise made available to SafeCharge Shareholders (the "Scheme Document"), which document, subject to certain restrictions relating to persons resident in Restricted Jurisdictions, is available on SafeCharge's and Nuvei's websites at, respectively, www.safecharge.com and https://nuvei.com/en-us/.

Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meanings as given to them in the Scheme Document.

Voting results of the Court Meeting

The Scheme was approved by the requisite majority on a poll vote at the Court Meeting held at 1.00 p.m. on 17 July 2019. Each SafeCharge Shareholder present and voting was entitled to one vote per Scheme Share held at the Scheme Voting Record Time. A majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders who voted (either in person, by proxy or by corporate representative), representing over 75 per cent. in value of the Scheme Shares held by Scheme Shareholders who voted (either in person, by proxy or by corporate representative), voted to approve the Scheme.

The results of the poll at the Court Meeting held on 17 July 2019 were as follows:

Voting results of the General Meeting

The Resolution was passed by the requisite majority on a poll vote at the General Meeting held at 1.15 p.m. on 17 July 2019. Each SafeCharge Shareholder, present in person or by proxy, was entitled to one vote per SafeCharge Share held at the Scheme Voting Record Time.

The results of the poll at the General Meeting held on 17 July 2019 were as follows:

The total number of SafeCharge Shares in issue at the Scheme Voting Record Time was 152,892,493 of which none were treasury shares. Consequently, the total voting rights in SafeCharge at the Scheme Voting Record Time were 152,892,493.

* A vote withheld is not a vote in law and counts neither "For" nor "Against" the Resolution.

Timetable and effective date

Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to satisfaction or (if capable of waiver) waiver of the other Conditions set out in the Scheme Document including, among other things, the receipt of regulatory clearance from the Central Bank of Cyprus ("CBC Clearance") and the sanction by the Court of the Scheme at the Court Hearing. SafeCharge will make a further announcement, through a Regulatory Information Service, following the CBC Clearance being obtained, as regards the expected timetable thereafter for the implementation of the Scheme and, among other things, the cut-off date for the lodging of elections under the Currency Election Facility. The Scheme is still expected to become Effective in this third quarter of 2019.

The last day of dealings in, and registration of transfers of, SafeCharge Shares (other than the registration of the transfer of the Scheme Shares to Nuvei Bidco pursuant to the Scheme) on AIM is expected to be on the last Business Day before the Effective Date and no transfers will be registered after the Scheme Record Time, which is expected to be 6.00 p.m. on the last Business Day before the Effective Date. It is also intended that dealings in SafeCharge Shares will be suspended on the Business Day following the Scheme Record Time. SafeCharge will make an application to AIM for the cancellation of the admission to trading of SafeCharge Shares on AIM, which is expected to take effect at 8.00 a.m. on the Business Day following the Effective Date.

If any of the key dates in the expected timetable for the Scheme change, SafeCharge will give notice of this change by issuing an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service. Such announcement would, subject to certain restrictions relating to persons resident in Restricted Jurisdictions, be available on SafeCharge's website at www.safecharge.com.

In addition, a copy of this announcement and SafeCharge's amended articles of incorporation will also be available on SafeCharge's and Nuvei's respective websites at www.safecharge.com and https://nuvei.com/en-us/ subject to certain restrictions relating to persons resident in Restricted Jurisdictions.

Notice to Overseas Shareholders

General

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in or into jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom or Guernsey may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of other jurisdictions should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. This announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law, Guernsey law and the Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside of England or Guernsey.

The Acquisition is not being made, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Acquisition by any use, means, instrumentality or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction.  Copies of this announcement and formal documentation relating to the Acquisition will not be, and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law or regulation), the Takeover Offer may not be made, directly or indirectly, in, into or from within any Restricted Jurisdiction.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders are contained in the Scheme Document.

Notices to US investors in SafeCharge

The Acquisition relates to the shares of a Guernsey incorporated non-cellular company that is a "foreign private issuer" as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the US Exchange Act, as amended, and is proposed to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Guernsey law. Neither the US proxy solicitation rules nor (unless implemented by means of an offer) the tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act, as amended, will apply to the Acquisition. Accordingly, the Scheme is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in Guernsey to schemes of arrangement and under the Code, which differ from the disclosure and procedural requirements of the US proxy solicitation rules and tender offer rules. Neither the SEC, nor any securities commission of any state of the United States, has approved the Acquisition, passed upon the fairness of the Acquisition or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States. Financial information relating to SafeCharge included in the Scheme Document has, save where otherwise stated, been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards that 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 United States.

The receipt of cash by a beneficial owner of SafeCharge Shares pursuant to the Acquisition as consideration for the transfer of its Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and may also be a taxable transaction under other applicable tax laws, including any applicable United States state and local, as well as non-US, tax laws. Each SafeCharge Shareholder is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences to it (or to its beneficial owners) of the Acquisition.

SafeCharge is incorporated under the laws of Guernsey. All of the officers and directors of SafeCharge are residents of countries other than the United States and the majority of the assets of SafeCharge are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States upon SafeCharge or any of their respective officers or directors, or to enforce outside the United States judgements obtained against SafeCharge or any of their respective officers or directors in US courts, including, without limitation, judgements based upon the civil liability provisions of the US federal securities laws or the laws of any state or territory within the United States.  It may not be possible to sue SafeCharge in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel SafeCharge and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and judgment of a US court.

If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer and Nuvei Bidco determines to extend such offer into the United States, the offer will be made in compliance with applicable UK, Guernsey and US securities laws and regulations, including the US tender offer rules. In such circumstances, SafeCharge Shareholders are urged to read any documents relating to the Acquisition because they will contain important information regarding the Acquisition. Such documents will be available from SafeCharge at www.safecharge.com.

If Nuvei Bidco commences a Takeover Offer in respect of SafeCharge, in accordance with normal UK market practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, as amended, Nuvei Bidco or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase shares or other securities of SafeCharge outside of the United States, other than pursuant to the Takeover Offer, until the date on which the Takeover Offer becomes Effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at http://www.londonstockexchange.com.  Rule 14e-5 will not regulate the purchases or arrangement of purchases of shares in SafeCharge in the context of implementing the Acquisition by a Scheme of Arrangement.

Disclosure requirements

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the Offer Period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.  An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s).  An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the Offer Period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the Offer Period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.  You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.

In accordance with the Code, normal UK practice and Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, as amended, Credit Suisse and its respective affiliates will continue to act as exempt principal trader in SafeCharge securities on AIM.  These purchases and activities by exempt principal traders which are required to be made public in the UK pursuant to the Code will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com.  This information will also be publicly disclosed in the United States to the extent such information is made public in the UK.
