Dealing Disclosure Requirements 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the 
"Code"), if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 
1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of the Company, all 'dealings' 
in any 'relevant securities' of the Company (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 3.30pm (London time) on the London 
business day following the date of the relevant transaction.  This requirement 
will continue until the date on which any offer becomes, or is declared, 
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which 
the 'offer period' otherwise ends.  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 the Company, 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 the Company by any offeror or the offeree company, or by any of 
their respective 'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon 
(London time) on the London 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 Takeover Panel's (the "Panel") website at 
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 you should consult the Panel.
