KBC Peel Hunt, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom for the
conduct of investment business by the Financial Services Authority, is acting
exclusively for Fayrewood (and for Letchworth solely in connection with the
Guidance Letter) and no one else in connection with the matters described in
this announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other than Fayrewood (or
as appropriate, Letchworth) for providing the protections afforded to clients of
KBC Peel Hunt nor for providing advice in relation to the matters described in
this announcement.
This announcement is not intended to, and does not constitute or form any part
of, an offer or invitation to sell or subscribe for or purchase any securities
or solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to the
Transaction or otherwise. The Transaction will be made through the Scheme
Document, which will contain the full terms and conditions of the Transaction
(including details of how to vote in respect of the Transaction). Any acceptance
of or other response to the Transaction should be made only on the basis of the
information contained in the Scheme Document. Fayrewood Shareholders are advised
to read the Scheme Document carefully, once it has been dispatched.
Notice to Overseas Persons
The availability of the Transaction to Fayrewood Shareholders who are not
resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of relevant
jurisdictions. Fayrewood Shareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom
will need to inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements.
The Transaction will be subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the
London Stock Exchange and the City Code.
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy securities, or the solicitation of any vote or approval, nor
shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of
"relevant securities" of Letchworth or of Fayrewood, all "dealings" in any
"relevant securities" of that 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 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the Business
Day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will
continue until the date on which the Scheme becomes effective, the Transaction
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
Letchworth or Fayrewood, 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 City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Letchworth or of Fayrewood by Letchworth or Fayrewood, 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 www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in 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 City 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.
