NOTE 10 ON RULE 8

10,   Responsibilities of stockbrokers, banks and other intermediaries

Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of
clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those
clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates and
other persons under Rule 8 and that those clients are willing to comply with
them, Market-makers and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in
appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules, However, this
does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and
commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day
period is less than #50,000,

This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and
other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever
total value is involved,

Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Panel in its dealings
enquiries, Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate
that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Panel with relevant
information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of
that co-operation,
