Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or 
more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any paper 
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 paper 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 paper 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 paper offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the 
relevant securities of the offeree company or of a paper offeror prior to the 
deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing 
Disclosure.

per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or 
of any paper offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any 
relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper 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 paper 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 paper 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. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on 
+44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to 
make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
