Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any
class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange
offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been
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 securities exchange 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 each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange
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
securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the
relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange 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 1% or
more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant
securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange 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 securities exchange
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 an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, 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
http://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 required to make an Opening
Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure, you should contact the Panel’s Market
Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129.
