Notes:
1. Rule 8 of the Takeover Code (the "Code") sets out the circumstances in which
Dealing Disclosures and/or Opening Position Disclosures are required to be
made by the parties to an offer, persons acting in concert with them, persons
with an interest in relevant securities of 1% or more and exempt principal
traders ("EPTs") connected with the parties to an offer.
2. Where an offeror is marked "Disclosure of dealings and positions in this
offeror is not required", dealings and positions in relevant securities of
that offeror are not required to be disclosed under Rule 8. This is either
because it has been announced that the offer or possible offer is, or is
likely to be, solely in cash or because disclosure is not required for some
other reason.
3. Dealings and positions required to be disclosed under Rule 8 of the Code
include dealings and positions in derivatives referenced to, and options in
respect of, relevant securities of an offeree company and, where appropriate,
an offeror (see Note 2 above).
4. The information set out in the Disclosure Table relating to the relevant
securities in issue of an offeree company or of an offeror (and any amendments
thereto) has been extracted from the relevant announcement made by such
company under Rule 2.9 of the Code. Similarly, details of any deadline set
under Rule 2.6 by which a potential offeror must announce either a firm
intention to make a bid or that it does not intend to make an offer (or, in
the case of Rule 2.6(a), by which the Panel must consent to an extension of
the deadline) has been extracted from the relevant announcement made by the
offeree company.
5. Additions and deletions of offeree companies and offerors are reflected in the
Disclosure Table throughout the day, following the relevant announcement.
Other amendments may also be made throughout the day. In any event, details of
the classes of relevant securities issued by an offeree or offeror company,
the number of such securities in issue ("NSI") and the International
Securities Identification Number ("ISIN") of such securities announced under
Rule 2.9 of the Code before 5.00 pm each day will be included in the final
version of the Disclosure Table by 5.30 pm that day. The final version of the
Disclosure Table issued each day will be marked "Final" and persons required
to make Dealing Disclosures and Opening Position Disclosures are advised to
use that final version. Any changes to a potential offeror's Rule 2.6 deadline
will also be reflected in the "Final" version of the Disclosure Table,
although any such changes will not be shown in the "Amendments" section at the
top of the Disclosure Table.
6. Dealing Disclosures by the parties to an offer, persons acting in concert with
them and connected EPTs must be made by no later than 12 noon on the business
day (as defined in the Code) following the date of the relevant dealing and
Dealing Disclosures by persons with an interest in relevant securities of 1%
or more must be made by 3.30 pm on the business day following the date of the
relevant dealing.
7. Opening Position Disclosures by the parties to an offer and by connected EPTs
must be made by no later than 12 noon on the 10th business day after the
commencement of the offer period or the announcement that first identifies an
offeror (as the case may be). Where required, Opening Position Disclosures by
persons with interests in relevant securities of 1% or more must be made by no
later than 3.30 pm on the 10th business day after the commencement of the
offer period or the announcement that first identifies an offeror (as the case
may be). Details of the time and date at which an offer period commenced and
at which an offeror was first identified are set out in the Disclosure Table.
In order to calculate the deadline for Opening Position Disclosures, it is
therefore necessary to count forward 10 business days from the relevant date.
8. Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures required under Rule 8 of
the Code must be made to a Regulatory Information Service ("RIS").
9. This Note is applicable if it says "See Note 9 below" by the name of the
company in the Disclosure Table above. The Executive has granted the company
a dispensation from the requirements under the Code that announcements must be
published via a RIS. The company is instead required to publish all
announcements on its website. The Executive has also granted a dispensation
from Note 3 on Rule 8 of the Code that disclosures made under Rule 8 of the
Code must be made to a RIS. Therefore, Opening Position Disclosures and
Dealing Disclosures required under Rule 8 of the Code may be made to the
company at the address stated in the announcement that commenced the offer
period.
