Neither the content of BBA's website nor any website accessible by hyperlinks on BBA's website is incorporated in, or forms part of, this announcement.

This announcement does not constitute an offer of Nil Paid Rights, Fully Paid Rights or New Ordinary Shares to any person with a registered address, or who is located, in the United States or the Restricted Territories or in any other jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights, the New Ordinary Shares and the Provisional Allotment Letters will not be registered or qualified for distribution to the public under the securities laws of any Restricted Territory and may not be offered, sold, taken up, exercised, resold, renounced, delivered, distributed or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in, into or from such jurisdictions except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, and in compliance with, any applicable securities laws and any specific procedures that are adopted by BBA with respect to a particular Restricted Territory. There will be no public offer of the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights or the New Ordinary Shares in any of the Restricted Territories.

The distribution of this announcement into jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore persons into whose possession this announcement and any accompanying documents come should inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. In particular, subject to certain exemptions, such documents should not be distributed in, forwarded to or transmitted in or into the United States or any other Restricted Territories.

None of the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights, the New Ordinary Shares nor the Provisional Allotment Letters have been, nor will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or under any securities laws of any state, district or other jurisdiction of the United States. Accordingly, such securities may not be offered, sold, taken up, exercised, resold, renounced, delivered, distributed or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in, into or from the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. There will be no public offer of the securities in the United States.
