 Notes:

 

 1.  Rule 8 of the Takeover Code (the "Code") sets out the circumstances in which
     Dealing Disclosures and/or Opening Position Disclosures are required to be
     made by the parties to an offer, persons acting in concert with them, persons
     with an interest in relevant securities of 1% or more and exempt principal
     traders ("EPTs") connected with the parties to an offer.

 

 2.  Where an offeror is marked "Disclosure of dealings and positions in this
     offeror is not required", dealings and positions in relevant securities of
     that offeror are not required to be disclosed under Rule 8. This is either
     because it has been announced that the offer or possible offer is, or is
     likely to be, solely in cash or because disclosure is not required for some
     other reason.

 

 3.  Dealings and positions required to be disclosed under Rule 8 of the Code
     include dealings and positions in derivatives referenced to, and options in
     respect of, relevant securities of an offeree company and, where appropriate,
     an offeror (see Note 2 above).

 

 4.  The information set out in the Disclosure Table relating to the relevant
     securities in issue of an offeree company or of an offeror (and any amendments
     thereto) has been extracted from the relevant announcement made by such
     company under Rule 2.9 of the Code. Similarly, details of any deadline set
     under Rule 2.6 by which a potential offeror must announce either a firm
     intention to make a bid or that it does not intend to make an offer (or, in
     the case of Rule 2.6(a), by which the Panel must consent to an extension of
     the deadline) has been extracted from the relevant announcement made by the
     offeree company.

 

 5.  Additions and deletions of offeree companies and offerors are reflected in the
     Disclosure Table throughout the day, following the relevant announcement.
     Other amendments may also be made throughout the day. In any event, details of
     the classes of relevant securities issued by an offeree or offeror company,
     the number of such securities in issue ("NSI") and the International
     Securities Identification Number ("ISIN") of such securities announced under
     Rule 2.9 of the Code before 5.00 pm each day will be included in the final
     version of the Disclosure Table by 5.30 pm that day. The final version of the
     Disclosure Table issued each day will be marked "Final" and persons required
     to make Dealing Disclosures and Opening Position Disclosures are advised to
     use that final version. Any changes to a potential offeror's Rule 2.6 deadline
     will also be reflected in the "Final" version of the Disclosure Table,
     although any such changes will not be shown in the "Amendments" section at the
     top of the Disclosure Table.

 

 6.  Dealing Disclosures by the parties to an offer, persons acting in concert with
     them and connected EPTs must be made by no later than 12 noon on the business
     day (as defined in the Code) following the date of the relevant dealing and
     Dealing Disclosures by persons with an interest in relevant securities of 1%
     or more must be made by 3.30 pm on the business day following the date of the
     relevant dealing.

 

 7.  Opening Position Disclosures by the parties to an offer and by connected EPTs
     must be made by no later than 12 noon on the 10th business day after the
     commencement of the offer period or the announcement that first identifies an
     offeror (as the case may be). Where required, Opening Position Disclosures by
     persons with interests in relevant securities of 1% or more must be made by no
     later than 3.30 pm on the 10th business day after the commencement of the
     offer period or the announcement that first identifies an offeror (as the case
     may be). Details of the time and date at which an offer period commenced and
     at which an offeror was first identified are set out in the Disclosure Table.
     In order to calculate the deadline for Opening Position Disclosures, it is
     therefore necessary to count forward 10 business days from the relevant date.

 

 8.  Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures required under Rule 8 of
     the Code must be made to a Regulatory Information Service ("RIS").

 

 9.  This Note is applicable if it says "See Note 9 below" by the name of the
     company in the Disclosure Table above.  The Executive has granted the company
     a dispensation from the requirements under the Code that announcements must be
     published via a RIS. The company is instead required to publish all
     announcements on its website. The Executive has also granted a dispensation
     from Note 3 on Rule 8 of the Code that disclosures made under Rule 8 of the
     Code must be made to a RIS. Therefore, Opening Position Disclosures and
     Dealing Disclosures required under Rule 8 of the Code may be made to the
     company at the address stated in the announcement that commenced the offer
     period.
