* DEALING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
* Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in one per
cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or
of any paper offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror which has
announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make
an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer
period and, if later, following the announcement in which any paper offeror
is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of
the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for,
any relevant securities of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper
offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a)
applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th
business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if
appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business
day following the announcement in which any paper offer is first
identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the
offeree company or of a paper offeror prior to the deadline for making an
Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.
* Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in
one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree
company or of any paper offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the
person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any
paper offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing
concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights
to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree
company and (ii) any paper offeror, save to the extent that these details
have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a
person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant
dealing.
* If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an
interest in relevant securities of ToLuna, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
* Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and
by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree
company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of
them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).
* Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant
securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be
made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website
at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant
securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror
was first identified. If you are in any doubt as to whether you are
