expected to take place on 27 November 2009.

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 Powerleague, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant 
securities' of Powerleague (including by means of an option in respect of, or a 
derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be publicly 
disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the London business day 
following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue 
until the date on which the Scheme becomes effective, 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withdrawn or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends.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 Powerleague, they 
will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant 
securities' of Powerleague by Patron Sports Leisure or Patron Capital, or by any 
of their respective 'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon 
(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 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, you should consult the Panel.
