This announcement and the Tender Offer Memorandum contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Tender Offers. If any Securityholder is in any doubt as to the contents of the Tender Offer Memorandum or the action it should take, it is recommended to seek its own financial advice, including in respect of any tax consequences, from its stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, tax advisor, accountant or other appropriately authorised independent financial adviser. Any individual or company whose Securities are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer, bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee must contact such entity if it wishes to tender such Securities pursuant to the relevant Tender Offer. None of the Issuer, the Dealer Managers or the Tender Agent or any of their respective directors, employees or affiliates expresses any opinion about the terms or merits of the Tender Offers or makes any recommendation whether Securityholders should tender Securities pursuant to the Tender Offers, and the Dealer Managers and the Tender Agent and their respective directors, employees and affiliates do not accept any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this announcement or the Tender Offer Memorandum including (without limitation) information concerning the Issuer or its subsidiaries and affiliates or for any failure by the Issuer to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information. OFFER AND DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS: The distribution of this announcement and the Tender Offer Memorandum in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this announcement and/or the Tender Offer Memorandum comes are required by each of the Issuer, the Dealer Managers and the Tender Agent to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions. Neither this announcement nor the Tender Offer Memorandum constitutes an offer to buy or a solicitation of an offer to sell the Securities (and tenders of Securities in the Tender Offers will not be accepted from Securityholders) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Tender Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and any Dealer Manager or any of the Dealer Managers' affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the relevant Tender Offer shall be deemed to be made by such Dealer Manager or such affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Issuer in such jurisdiction. In addition to the representations referred to below in respect of the United States, each holder of Securities participating in the Tender Offers will also be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the other jurisdictions referred to below and generally as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Any tender of Securities for purchase pursuant to the relevant Tender Offer from a Securityholder that is unable to make these representations will not be accepted. Each of the Issuer, the Dealer Managers and the Tender Agent reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of Securities for purchase pursuant to the relevant Tender Offer, whether any such representation given by a Securityholder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result the Issuer determines (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such tender shall not be accepted. UNITED STATES: The Tender Offers are not being made, and will not be made, directly or indirectly in or into, or by use of the mail of, or by
