    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 Newport Networks Group PLC, 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 3.30pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.
This requirement will continue until the date on which the 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otherwise withdrawn or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends.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 Newport Networks Group PLC, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose
of Rule 8.3.  
      
    Under the provisions of Rules 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant securities' of Newport Networks Group PLC by a potential
offeror, or Newport Networks Group PLC, 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 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.
