To the best of the knowledge and belief of the WHAM Directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the information contained in this announcement is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information. Tristone Capital Limited, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FSA, is acting exclusively for WHAM and no-one else in connection with the Offer. Tristone Capital Limited is not acting for, and will not be responsible to anyone other than WHAM for providing the protections offered to clients of Tristone Capital Limited nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer. Landsbanki Securities (UK) Limited, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FSA, is acting exclusively for WHAM and no-one else in connection with the Offer.

Oriel Securities Limited is not acting for, and will not be responsible to, anyone other than Venture for providing the protections afforded to clients of Oriel Securities Limited nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer. This announcement is not intended to and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase any securities. The Offer is not being made, directly or indirectly, and this document should not be sent, in or into or from persons in any Restricted Jurisdiction by use of the mail or by any means or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce, or any facilities of a national securities exchange (including, without limitation, post, facsimile transmission, telex and telephone) and doing so may render invalid any purported acceptance. Any person (including, without limitation, custodians, nominees and trustees) who may have contractual or legal obligations, or may otherwise intend, to forward this document should read the relevant provisions of this document before taking any action. The availability of the Offer to persons outside the United Kingdom might be affected by the laws of other jurisdictions. Such persons should inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements of those jurisdictions. The New Venture Shares, the Deferred Consideration Notes and the Deferred New Venture Shares have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act nor any jurisdiction of the United States (or under the securities laws of any other jurisdiction which Venture is advised to treat as a Restricted Jurisdiction); the relevant clearances have not been, nor will they be, obtained from the Securities Commission of any province or territory of Canada, nor has any prospectus in relation to the New Venture Shares, the Deferred Consideration Notes nor the Deferred New Venture Shares been lodged with, or registered by, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission nor any Securities Authority in Japan. Accordingly, unless any exemption under such Act or relevant securities law is available, neither the New Venture Shares, the Deferred Consideration Notes nor the Deferred New Venture Shares may be offered, sold, re-sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, into or from the United States, Canada or any Restricted Jurisdiction. Should Venture issue any New Venture Shares, Deferred Consideration Notes or Deferred New Venture Shares to a US Person pursuant to the Scheme, such securities will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(9) and 3(a)(10), as appropriate, thereof and, as a consequence, will not be registered thereunder or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. For the purposes of qualifying for the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act (as described above) Venture and WHAM will advise the Court that its sanctioning of the Scheme will be relied upon by Venture and WHAM as an approval of the Scheme following a hearing on its fairness to WHAM Shareholders at which hearing all such holders are entitled to attend in person or through counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme and, with respect to which, notification has been given to all such holders. Venture will not be required to register the New Venture Shares, the Deferred Consideration Notes nor the Deferred New Venture Shares under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and thus will not, following the completion of the Scheme, file any reports with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Venture reserves the right to implement the Offer by way of a Conventional Offer, in which case additional documents will be despatched to WHAM Shareholders. Further details are set out in the Scheme Document. Words and expressions defined in the Scheme Document shall, unless the context provides otherwise, have the same meanings in this announcement.

All references to times are to times in London (unless otherwise stated). Dealing Disclosure Requirements Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Venture or WHAM, 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 p.m. (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the Scheme Effective Date or when the "offer period" for the purposes of the City Code 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 Venture or WHAM, 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 Venture by WHAM, or of WHAM by Venture or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London 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 Panel's website at 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 consult the Panel.
