Nestor Healthcare Group PLC ("Nestor" or the "Company")
Revised approach
The Directors of Nestor (the "Board") note the recent press speculation in
relation to the Company and confirm that they have received a revised indicative
approach from Acromas Holdings Limited ("Acromas") of 100 pence per ordinary
share. The Board believes that an offer of 100 pence per ordinary share would
continue to undervalue the Company, but intends to meet with Acromas.
This announcement has not been made with the agreement or approval of Acromas.
No formal offer has been received and there can be no certainty that a formal
offer will be made, nor as to the terms on which any offer might be made.
Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

Investec Investment Banking, a division of Investec Bank plc, which is
authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the United

this announcement.
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or
more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any paper
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 paper 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 paper offeror(s). An Opening
Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no
later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the
commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any
paper offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant
securities of the offeree company or of a paper 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 1
per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or
of any paper offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any
relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper 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 paper 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 no
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 paper 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 Takeover 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."
"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.
