with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the
import of such information.
Rothschild & Co, which is authorised and regulated by the UK
Financial Conduct Authority, is acting as financial adviser to Cpl
and no one else in connection with the Acquisition and will not be
responsible to anyone other than Cpl for providing the protections
afforded to clients of Rothschild & Co, nor for providing

Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Rules
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules, if
any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly)
in, 1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Cpl, all
"dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Cpl (including by means
of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such
"relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by not later than
3:30 pm (Irish time) on the "business day" in Dublin following the
date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue
until the date on which the "offer period" ends. If two or more
persons co-operate on the basis of any agreement, either express or
tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an "interest" in
"relevant securities" of Cpl, they will be deemed to be a single
person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Rules.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Irish Takeover Rules,
all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Cpl by OUTSOURCING Inc.
or Outsourcing Talent Ireland Limited, or by any party acting in
concert (as defined in the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997 (as
amended)) with either of them, must also be disclosed by no later
than 12 noon (Irish time) on the business day in Dublin following
the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose
"relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, can be found
on the Irish Takeover Panel's website at
www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.
"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 Irish Takeover
Rules, which can also be found on the Irish Takeover 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 consult the
Irish Takeover Panel's website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or
contact the Irish Takeover Panel on telephone number +353 1 678
9020.
