Notice for US Shareholders

The Tender Offer relates to securities in a non-US company registered in England and Wales with a listing on the London Stock Exchange and is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to companies listed in the United Kingdom, which differ from those of the United States in certain material respects. A circular has been prepared in accordance with UK style and practice for the purpose of complying with the laws of England & Wales, the UK Listing Rules and the rules of the London Stock Exchange. The Tender Offer is being made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of, and Regulation 14E under, the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”), subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1(d) thereunder and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the UK Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Tender Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements that are different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures. US Shareholders should note that the Company is not listed on a US securities exchange, subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or required to, and does not, file any reports with the SEC thereunder. Tenders from the United States will be accepted only from Qualifying US Shareholders who have returned a signed US shareholder representation letter.

It may be difficult for US Shareholders to enforce certain rights and claims arising in connection with the Tender Offer under US federal securities laws since the Company is located outside the United States and its officers and directors reside outside the United States. It may not be possible to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It also may not be possible to compel a non-US company or its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with normal UK practice, the Company, Singer Capital Markets, Canaccord Genuity or any of their affiliates may make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Shares outside the United States during the period in which the Tender Offer remains open for acceptance, including sales and purchases of Shares effected by Singer Capital Markets or Canaccord Genuity acting as market maker in the Shares.
