Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of
"relevant securities" of Local Radio, all "dealings" in any "relevant
securities" of Local Radio (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") by such person must be
publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. on the 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,
lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the Offer Period otherwise ends.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
Local Radio, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purposes of Rule
8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Local Radio by Local Radio or UKRD, or by any of their respective
"associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00p.m. on the 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 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 agreement
to purchase, option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotations marks are defined in the City Code, which can also be found
on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to the application of Rule 8
to you, please contact an independent financial adviser authorised under the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended), consult the Panel's
website or contact the Panel on telephone number +44 (0)20 7382 9026 or fax +44
(0)20 7236 7005. 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.
