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otherwise withdrawn.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 7236 7013.
