NOTES REGARDING DISCLOSURE
Man Financial Ltd ("MAN") is the beneficial owner of 17,718,019 Ordinary
Shares in the above company which are held to hedge CFD & Spread Betting
positions (see below) established between MAN and its clients. A Contract for
Difference or CFD is an agreement between two parties to exchange, at the close
of the contract, the difference between the opening price and the closing
price, multiplied by the number of reference shares specified within the
contract. The 'reference shares' are the underlying shares specified in the
CFD. The economic performance of the CFD is determined by the performance of
the underlying reference shares. Although CFDs replicate the price movement of
the underlying reference shares, they convey no right or requirement to acquire
or deliver the physical shares.
The contract value of a CFD is defined as the number of reference shares
specified in the contract, multiplied by the price of the underlying reference
share. If a client of Man takes a long position, the client will make a profit
if the contract value increases.
Conversely, if a client of Man takes a short position, the client will benefit
if the contract value falls.
The CFD contracts detailed below are open-ended and without predetermined
expiry/close value A Spread Bet is a product whereby the client to whom the
product is sold can realise a gain or a loss depending on whether the price
of the underlying security increases above or falls below the reference price. A
client's Spread bet position is described the client's "stake". A "stake" is
expressed in pounds (sterling) per "point" and a "point" is the price in pence
of the underlying shares. A client with a "stake" of #100 per point will make
a gain of #100 for every penny increase in the underlying shares and the
client has an exposure equivalent to 10,000 shares.
DEFINITION OF ASSOCIATE It is not practicable to define associate in terms
which would cover all the different relationships which may exist in an offer.
The term associate is intended to cover all persons (whether or not acting in
concert) who directly or indirectly own or deal in the shares of an offeror or
the offeree company in an offer and who have (in addition to their normal
interests as shareholders) an interest or potential interest, whether
commercial, financial or personal, in the outcome of the offer Without
prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the term associate will normally
include the following:-
(1) an offeror's or the offeree company's parent, subsidiaries and fellow
subsidiaries, and their associated companies, and companies of which such
companies are associated companies (for this purpose ownership or control of
20% or more of the equity share capital of a company is regarded as the test of
associated company status);
(2) banks and financial and other professional advisers (including
stockbrokers)* to an offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in
(1), including persons controlling#, controlled by or under the same control as
such banks, financial and other professional advisers;
(3) the directors (together with their close relatives & related trusts) of an
offeror, the offeree company or any company covered in (1);
(4) the pension funds of an offeror, the offeree company or any company
covered in (1);
(5) any investment company, unit trust or other person whose investments an
associate manages on a discretionary basis, in respect of the relevant
investment accounts;
(6) a person who owns or controls 5% or more of any class of relevant
securities (as defined in paragraphs (a) to (d) in Note 2 on Rule 8) issued
by an offeror or an offeree company, including a person who as a result of any
transaction owns or controls 5% or more. When two or more persons act
pursuant to an agreement or understanding (formal or informal) to acquire or
control such securities, they will be deemed to be a single person for the
purpose of this paragraph. Such securities managed on a discretionary basis
by an investment management group will, unless otherwise agreed by the Panel,
also be deemed to be those of a single person (see Note 8 on Rule 8); and
(7) a company having a material trading arrangement with an offeror or the
offeree company. Paragraphs (1)-(7) are typical cases. Paragraph (8) below is
a category to cover associate status not within (1)-(7).
(8) Other.
