Notes:

(1) The aggregate number of Utilico Shares to be issued to a Shareholder who elected for the Utilico Option equates to ([A x B] / C) where:

A = the FAV per Share;

B = the total number of Shares with "Utilico" rights held by the Shareholder; and

C = the Utilico FAV per Share

Fractions of Utilico Shares which would otherwise arise will not be issued to Shareholders, with fractional entitlements being rounded down to the nearest whole number of Utilico Shares.

(2) The cash sum per Share payable under the Cash Option (being 95 per cent. of the FAV per Share) is 106.97228 pence. Entitlements to cash under the Cash Option will be rounded down to the nearest whole penny.

(3) Shareholders who hold their Shares in CREST will receive the payments to be made on (or as soon as practicable after) 18 January 2011 through the CREST system. Any subsequent payments out of the Liquidation Fund will be made by cheque.
