This announcement does not constitute or form part of an offer for, or
solicitation of any offer for, or invitation to sell or purchase or subscribe
for any securities.  The Offer is made solely by means of the Offer Document and
the Form of Acceptance accompanying the Offer Document which contains the full
terms and conditions of the Offer, including details of how it may be accepted.

Lexicon Partners is acting exclusively for Towergate and no-one else in
connection with the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than
Towergate for providing the protections afforded to clients of Lexicon Partners
nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer or any matter referred to in
this announcement.  Lexicon Partners is authorised and regulated in the United
Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority.

Cenkos Securities is acting exclusively for Broker Network and no-one else in
connection with the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than
Broker Network for providing the protections afforded to clients of Cenkos
Securities nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer or any matter
referred to in this announcement.  Cenkos Securities is authorised and regulated
in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority.

Fox-Pitt, Kelton Limited is acting exclusively for Broker Network and no-one
else in connection with the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other
than Broker Network for providing the protections afforded to clients of
Fox-Pitt, Kelton nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer or any matter
referred to in this announcement.  Fox-Pitt, Kelton is authorised and regulated
in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority.

The availability of the Offer to Broker Network Shareholders who are not
resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant
jurisdiction in which they are resident.  Persons who are not resident in the
United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable
requirements.

Unless otherwise determined by Broker Network and permitted by applicable law
and regulation, the Offer will not be made, directly or indirectly, in, into or
from, or by use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, without
limitation, facsimile transmission, telephone or internet) of interstate or
foreign commerce of, or any facilities of a national, state or other securities
exchange of any jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the
relevant laws of such jurisdiction, and the Offer will not be capable of
acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities or from or
within any such countries or jurisdiction.  Accordingly, copies of any documents
relating to the Offer must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed, transmitted
or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent, in whole or in part, in, into or
from any jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant
laws of such jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including
custodians, nominees and trustees) must not directly or indirectly mail,
transmit or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from any such
jurisdiction as to do so may invalidate any such purported acceptance of the
Offer.

The Panel wishes to draw attention to certain UK dealing disclosure requirements
following the announcement of the Offer.  An "offer period" is deemed to
commence at the time when an announcement is made of a proposed or possible
offer, with or without terms.  Accordingly, the offer period began on 12 October
2007.

The disclosure requirements are set out in more detail in Rule 8 of the City
Code.  Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or
becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "
relevant securities" of Broker Network or Towergate, all "dealings" in any "
relevant securities" of that company, (including by means of an option in
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must
be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day
following the date of the relevant transaction.  This requirement will continue
until the date on which the Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to
acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period"
otherwise ends.  If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or
understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant
securities" of Broker Network or of Towergate, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Broker Network or of Towergate, by Towergate or Broker Network,
or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than
12.00 noon (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant
transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at http://
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk/.

"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities.  In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the City Code, which can also be found
on the Panel's website.  If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are
required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should contact an independent
financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
if you are resident in the UK or, if not, an appropriately authorised
independent financial adviser or consult the Panel's website at http://
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk/ or contact the Panel on +44 20 7382 9026; fax: +44
20 7236 7005.
