                                           the Call Options (whether exercised, 
                                           lapsed or still outstanding) by virtue 
                                           of a voting rights agreement. 
 
                                           TUI AG holds exchangeable bonds in

                                           shares referred to above. Given that 
                                           TUI AG already holds (and has disclosed

                                           these exchangeable bonds, TUI AG's 
                                           interest in the bonds does not increase 
                                           its aggregate interest in shares in 
                                           TUI Travel PLC. The registered holder 
                                           of such shares is Nero Finance Limited.

                                           in 8A above) are the same shares as 
                                           those which it has a right to acquire
