1. Introduction

Cyrun made a cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SVM on 23 March 2011 at which point Cyrun held 8,162,393 SVM Shares representing 25.7% of its issued share capital.

The Board of Cyrun is pleased to announce that, following the purchase of additional SVM Shares increasing Cyrun's holding to over 30% of SVM's issued share capital, the cash offer by Cyrun to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SVM not already owned by Cyrun is now being made on a mandatory basis in accordance with Rule 9 of the Takeover Code.

The Offer is extended and the next closing date is at 1.00pm on 20 May 2011.

There is no change to the terms of the Offer, which remains conditional only on the total of SVM Shares held by Cyrun and persons acting in concert with it and acceptances received amounting to over 50% of SVM's issued share capital.

As at 1.00 pm on 6 May 2011 Cyrun had received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of 1,114,173 SVM Shares representing 3.5% of SVM's issued share capital. As at 4.00pm today Cyrun holds 10,535,055 SVM Shares representing 33.2% of SVM's issued share capital. There were no purchases of SVM Shares included in the above acceptance figure between 1.00pm and 4.00 pm today. C Reid, an employee of Fairfax who has a beneficial interest in 1,594 SVM Shares (representing 0.005% of its issued share capital) is deemed to be acting in concert with Cyrun. The total of the foregoing shares and valid acceptances which count towards the acceptance condition is therefore 11,650,822 SVM Shares representing 36.7% of SVM's issued share capital.

2. Offer Price

The amount of cash consideration will be determined by reference to a formula based on the net assets per SVM Share as at the date the Offer becomes unconditional as to acceptances, subject to a minimum of 191.2 pence per SVM Share.

This formula is referred to as the 'FAV' or 'Formula Asset Value'. The calculation of the Formula Asset Value is described in Appendix I of this document.

The Offer Price is:

For every SVM Share 94.25% of FAV, subject to a minimum of 191.2 pence, in cash

For illustrative purposes only, had the Calculation Date been 29 April 2011 (being the date of the most recent net asset value of a SVM Share (calculated on a cum-income basis) published prior to the publication of this Announcement):

-- 94.25% of FAV would have valued each SVM Share at approximately 187.48p, however the improved minimum Offer Price would have been 191.2p,

-- the Offer Price of 191.2p per SVM Share represents a premium of approximately 12.5 per cent. to the Closing Price of 170p per SVM Share on 15 March 2011 being the last dealing day prior to the announcement of the possible offer for SVM;

-- the Offer Price of 191.2p per SVM Share represents a discount of approximately 5.7 per cent. to the most recently announced net asset value per SVM Share; and

-- the value of the entire issued share capital of SVM at the Offer Price would have been approximately GBP60.74 million.

(the "Offer Illustration").

The FAV calculation for SVM is based on the net asset value per SVM Share as at close of business on 29 April 2011 (being the date of the most recent net asset value of a SVM Share published prior to the publication of this Announcement), assumes bid defence and other related costs of GBP0.6m and contract termination costs of approximately GBP0.6m. These cost estimates may well be higher or lower than the amounts actually incurred or due, in which case the value of the Offer to SVM Shareholders would be greater or less. The actual FAV will be based on figures calculated by SVM and agreed with Cyrun.

The SVM Shares will be acquired by Cyrun, pursuant to the Offer, fully paid and free from all liens, equities, charges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other interest of any nature whatsoever and together with all rights now or hereafter attaching thereto, including voting rights and the right to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any) made or paid on or after 17 March 2011.

The availability of the Offer to persons not resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

3. Previous acceptors of the Offer

SVM Shareholders who have already accepted the Offer will obtain the benefit of, and be deemed to have accepted, the mandatory Offer. Such SVM Shareholders need take no further action (assuming its Form(s) of Acceptance have been delivered valid and complete in all respects), or, in the case of uncertificated holders, a valid TTE message has been received.

4. Condition of the Offer

The Offer is conditional only on Cyrun having received (which have not, where permitted, been withdrawn) by not later than 1.00 p.m. on 20 May 2011 (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as Cyrun may, subject to the rules of the Code, decide) valid acceptances in respect of SVM Shares which, together with the SVM Shares acquired, or agreed to be acquired, by Cyrun and any person acting in concert with it, before or after the making of the Offer, will result in Cyrun and persons acting in concert with it holding SVM Shares carrying over 50% of the voting rights capable of being exercised in general meetings of SVM.
