Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code (the "Code")
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any
class of relevant securities of the Company or of any paper 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 paper 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 Company and (ii) any paper 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 pm
(London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer
period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th
business day following the announcement in which any paper offeror is first
identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the Company
or of a paper 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%
or more of any class of relevant securities of the Company or of any paper
offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant
securities of the Company or of any paper 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 Company and (ii) any paper offeror, 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 pm (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 the Company or a paper 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 Company and by any offeror
and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the 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 Company and any offeror in respect of whose relevant securities
Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found
in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover 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

an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure, you should contact the
Panel`s Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129.
