All of the required regulatory approvals relating to the
merger have now also been received.

It is expected that the Scheme will become effective on
Tuesday, 30 May 2000 at which time CGU plc will change its
name to CGNU plc and that dealings in the new CGNU plc
ordinary shares to be issued to Norwich Union shareholders
will commence on that day. On this basis, the last day of
dealings in Norwich Union ordinary shares will be Friday, 26
May 2000.
