Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the "Code"), if any

person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of

any class of "relevant securities" of Groupe Fnac SA or of Darty plc, all

"dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company (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 pm (London time)

on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.

This requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is

declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.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 Groupe Fnac SA or of Darty plc, 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 Groupe Fnac SA or Darty plc by Groupe Fnac SA or by

Darty plc, 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 Takeover 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.
