Share Certificates for Domino's Pizza AG

Further to the announcement regarding the posting of share certificates for Domino's Pizza Switzerland AG, the Company has been advised that share certificates are not usually issued for Swiss companies. The definitive record of share ownership is the share register maintained by the Swiss company. Accordingly, shareholders will not be issued share certificates for Domino's Pizza Switzerland AG. However, shareholders have the right at any time and at the Swiss company's cost to request the company to issue documentary evidence in respect of the uncertificated securities held by the shareholder pursuant to the share register. Should any shareholder require such documentary evidence, they can request this in writing from Domino's Pizza Switzerland AG at Ifangstrasse 10, 8302 Kloten, Switzerland.

Final Shareholding & Warrants

Following the 1 for 10 share split on 3 January 2012, a total number of 2,419,737,180 ordinary shares of CHF 0.002 each are currently in issue.
The capital reduction to offset the accumulated losses of CHF 6,000,144 will result in the cancellation of 1,019,266,500 shares. A further 1,291,720,680 shares will be cancelled as
payment of the further capital reduction leaving a total of 108,750,000 shares in issue on 17
February 2012.
Following the Completion of the Demerger, Shareholders who are on the register of members at the Record Time will be granted one new warrant for every ten (10) Global Brands Ordinary Shares. Each New Warrant will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Global Brands Ordinary Share at £0.002 and will have an exercise period of six months. For the purposes of calculating the number of Global Brands New Warrants to be granted to Shareholders, fractional entitlements will be disregarded.

Conditional Placing

Alexander David, the Company's existing broker, has conditionally placed 35,000,000 new Global Brands Ordinary Shares at £0.002 to raise £70,000 before expenses ("the Placing"). The Placing is conditional on the completion of the Demerger.
Subscribers in the Placing will also receive one new warrant for every ten (10) Global Brands Ordinary Shares. Each New Warrant will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Global Brands Ordinary Share at £0.002 ("the Placing Price) and will have an exercise period of six months. The Placing proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes for the Company and for new investments in accordance with the Investing Policy.
Also conditional on completion of the Demerger, Alexander David will convert accrued fees of £79,272.36 into Global Brands Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price. This will result in the issue of 39,636,180 new Global Brands Ordinary Shares to Alexander David representing
21.6 per cent. of the enlarged share capital of the Company. Following the Placing and the conversion of the accrued fees, the total number of shares in issue will be 183,386,180 ordinary shares of CHF 0.002 each.
Alexander David will receive a placing commission of 5 per cent. of the gross funds raised in the Placing. In addition, for the arrangement and structuring of the new business of the Company, Alexander David will receive a warrant over 2.5 per cent. of the share capital of the Company in issue immediately following the Placing at the Placing Price. The ADS Warrant will expire after two years.
An application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Global Brands Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Placing and Alexander David to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission following the Demerger.
