Dealing disclosure requirements 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, 
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in, one per cent or more of any class of 
"relevant securities" of Summit, 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 not 
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 or 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is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.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 Summit, 
they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the 
Code. 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant 
securities" of Summit by the Offeror or Summit, or by any of their respective 
"associates" must also be disclosed by no later than 12.00 (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, please consult the Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk or contact the Panel on telephone number +44(0)20 
7638 0129; fax number +44(0)20 7236 7013.
