The Company reserves the right to delay the filing of Form 15F or to withdraw it for any reason prior to its effectiveness.

The Company will continue to publish its annual reports and other financial communications, which will be available to U.S. ADR holders and other investors through the Company's website (www.sky.com/corporate).
