NOTES REGARDING DISCLOSURE
MAN FIN Ltd is the beneficial owner of 3,639,212 Ordinary Shares in the
above company which are held to hedge CFD positions resulting from CFD
contracts (see below) established between MAN FINANCIAL LIMITED and its
clients. A Contract for Difference or CFD is an agreement between two parties
to exchange, at the close of the contract, the difference between the opening
price and the closing price, multiplied by the number of reference shares
specified within the contract. The 'reference shares' are the underlying
shares specified in the CFD. The economic performance of the CFD is determined
by the performance of the underlying reference shares. Although CFDs replicate
the price movement of the underlying reference shares,they convey no right or
requirement to acquire or deliver the physical shares.
The contract value of a CFD is defined as the number of reference shares
specified in the contract, multiplied by the price of the underlying reference
share. If a client of Man takes a long position, the customer will make a profit
if the contract value increases.
Conversely, if a customer of Man Financial Ltd takes a short position, the
customer will benefit if the contract value falls. The CFD contracts detailed
below are open-ended and without predetermined expiry/close value
DEFINITION OF ASSOCIATE
It is not practicable to define associate in terms which would cover all the
different relationships which may exist in an offer. The term associate is
intended to cover all persons (whether or not acting in concert) who directly or
indirectly own or deal in the shares of an offeror or the offeree company in
an offer and who have (in addition to their normal interests as shareholders)
an interest or potential interest, whether commercial, financial or personal,
in the outcome of the offer Without prejudice to the generality of the
foregoing, the term associate will normally include the following:-
(1) an offeror's or the offeree company's parent, subsidiaries and fellow
subsidiaries, and their associated companies, and companies of which such
companies are associated companies (for this purpose ownership or control of 20%
or more of the equity share capital of a company is regarded as the test of
associated company status);
(2) banks and financial and other professional advisers (including
stockbrokers)* to an offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in
(1), including persons controlling#, controlled by or under the same control as
such banks, financial and other professional advisers;
(3) the directors (together with their close relatives & related trusts) of an
offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in (1);
(4) the pension funds of an offeror, the offeree company or any company
covered in (1);
(5) any investment company, unit trust or other person whose investments an
associate manages on a discretionary basis, in respect of the relevant
investment accounts;
(6) a person who owns or controls 5% or more of any class of relevant
securities (as defined in paragraphs (a) to (d) in Note 2 on Rule 8) issued by
an offeror or an offeree company, including a person who as a result of any
transaction owns or controls 5% or more. When two or more persons act pursuant
to an agreement or understanding (formal or informal) to acquire or control such
securities, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of this
paragraph. Such securities managed on a discretionary basis by an investment
management group will, unless otherwise agreed by the Panel, also be deemed to
be those of a single person (see Note 8 on Rule 8); and
(7) a company having a material trading arrangement with an offeror or the
offeree company. Paragraphs (1)-(7) are typical cases. Paragraph (8) below is a
category to cover associate status not within (1) -(7).
(8) Other.
