The securities to be registered hereby are Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0005 per share, of Manchester United Ltd. (to be renamed Manchester United plc prior to the completion of the offering made pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below)) (the “Registrant”). The information required by this Item 1 is set forth under the heading “Description of Share Capital” contained in the prospectus forming a part of the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-182535) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2012, including exhibits, and as amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), and is hereby incorporated by reference. In addition, all of the above-referenced descriptions included in any prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2. Exhibits.
Under the Instructions as to Exhibits with respect to Form 8-A, no exhibits are required to be filed because no other securities of the Registrant are registered on the New York Stock Exchange and the securities registered hereby are not being registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
