In relation to the General Meeting: 
 
1.         the issued share capital at the date of the meeting was 314,970,822 
ordinary shares with voting rights; 
 
2.         votes were tendered in respect of 236,688,158 ordinary shares 
respectively being 75.15% of the issued share capital; 
 
3.         any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have 
been included in the shares 'FOR' total; and 
 
4.         a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the 
calculations of the proportion of the shares 'FOR' or 'AGAINST' the resolution. 
 
The implementation of the Acquisition remains conditional on the satisfaction or 
waiver of the remaining Conditions set out in the Scheme Document, including the 
sanction of the Scheme and the confirmation of the Capital Reduction by the 
Court. It is anticipated that the Court hearing to sanction the Scheme will take 
place on 25 November 2010 and the Court hearing to confirm the Capital Reduction 
will take place on 29 November 2010, with the Scheme becoming effective on 30 
November 2010 and cheques being despatched or settlement through CREST being 
within 14 days of the Scheme becoming effective. Condition 3(a) of the Scheme 
was satisfied on 29 October 2010, as the Acquisition benefited from early 
termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust 
Improvements Act of 1976 in the United States. 
 
Terms used in this Announcement shall (unless the context otherwise requires) 
have the same meanings as set out in the Scheme Document. 
 
In accordance with Rule 9.6 of the Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions have 
been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available 
for inspection at:

Dealing Disclosure requirements 
 
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the City Code, any person who is interested in one 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) of the City Code 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". 
 
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the City Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 
one 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 Intec 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 Intec 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 of the City Code). 
 
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 
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. If you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make 
an "Opening Position Disclosure" or a "Dealing Disclosure", you should contact 
the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129. 
 
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Takeover Code, which can also be
