Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or will, as a
result of any transaction, become, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1
per cent. or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Investec or of
Rensburg Sheppards (as applicable), all "dealings" in any "relevant
securities" of Investec or Rensburg Sheppards (as applicable) (including by
means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such
"relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m.
(London time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant
transaction. This requirement will continue until the Effective Date or on
the date the Scheme is otherwise withdrawn. If two or more persons act
together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or
informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Investec or of
Rensburg Sheppards, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose
of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Investec or of Rensburg Sheppards by Investec or Rensburg
Sheppards, or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by
no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the Business Day following the date
of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities
in issue, can be found on the Panel`s website at
http://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest"
by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any
option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on
the Panel`s website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are
required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, please contact an independent
financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act
2000, consult the Panel`s website at http://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk or
contact the Panel on telephone number +44 (0) 20 7638 0129 or fax +44 (0) 20
