Overseas Shareholders
Unless otherwise determined by Redbird or required by the Code
(and permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Offer is not
being made, directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of
the mails of, or by any means or instrumentality (including,
without limitation, telephonically or electronically) of interstate
or foreign commerce of, or any facilities of a national, state or
other securities exchange of, any Restricted Jurisdiction (as
defined in the Offer Document) and the Offer is not capable of
acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities,
or from within any Restricted Jurisdiction, subject to certain
exceptions.
Accordingly, unless otherwise determined by Redbird or required
by the Code (and permitted by applicable law and regulation),
copies of the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance and any
other document related to the Offer are not being, and must not be,
directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed,
transmitted or sent in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction
and persons receiving the Offer Document, the Form of Acceptance
and any other related document (including custodians, nominees and
trustees) must not mail or otherwise distribute or send them in,
into or from such jurisdictions as doing so may invalidate any
purported acceptance of the Offer. In particular, the Offer will
not be made, in or into or by the use of the mails of, or any means
or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile,
e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of
interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a

receiving the Offer Document (including, without limitation,
custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute, mail or

or from the United States or any other Restricted Jurisdiction, and
so doing may render any purported acceptance of the Offer
invalid.
The release, publication or distribution of the Offer Document
in jurisdictions other than in the United Kingdom may be restricted
by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves
about, and observe, any applicable requirements. Any failure to
comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation
of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the companies involved in the
Offer disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of
such restrictions by any person. The Offer Document has been
prepared for the purposes of complying with English law and the
Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that
which would have been disclosed if the Offer Document had been
prepared in accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction outside
the United Kingdom.
The ability of Shareholders who are not resident in and citizens
of the United Kingdom to accept the Offer may be affected by the
laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of
which they are citizens. Persons who are not resident in the United
Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable
legal or regulatory requirements of their jurisdictions.
Disclosure requirements of the Code
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in
one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an
offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any
offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been
announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash)
must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement
of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in
which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.
An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the
person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe
for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and
(ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position
Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by
not later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the tenth business day
following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate,
by not later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the tenth business day
following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror
is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant
securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange
offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position
Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes,
interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant
securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange
offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any
relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the
dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions
in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of
(i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror,
save to the extent that these details have previously been
disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom
Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by not later than 3.30 pm (London
time) on the business day following the date of the relevant
dealing If two or more persons act together pursuant to an
agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire
or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company
or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree
company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be
made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons
acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and
8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose
relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing
Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on
the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including
details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the
offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.
If you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an
Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure, you should
contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638
0129.
