NOTES REGARDING DISCLOSURE
Man Financial Ltd ("MAN") is the beneficial owner of 3,826,569 Ordinary
Shares in the above company which are held to hedge CFD & Spread Betting
positions (see below) established between MAN 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 client will make a profit if the contract value increases.
Conversely, if a client of Man takes a short position, the client will benefit
if the contract value falls. The CFD contracts detailed below are open-ended
and without predetermined expiry/close value A Spread Bet is a product whereby
the client to whom the product is sold can realise a gain or a loss depending
on whether the price of the underlying security increases above or falls below
the reference price. A client's Spread bet position is described the
client's "stake". A "stake" is expressed in pounds (sterling) per "point" and a
"point" is the price in pence of the underlying shares. A client with a
"stake" of #100 per point will make a gain of #100 for every penny increase in
the underlying shares and the client has an exposure equivalent to 10,000
shares.
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.
