  Notes

    1     The notice refers to FSA rules rather than the Regulation as some
          stabilisation may occur before application is made for admission to
          the regulated market.

    2     The Co-ordinating Stabilising Manager is likely to prefer to restrict
          the information on stabilisation to that given to it by the
          Stabilising Managers.

  Notes

    3     The definition of stabilisation includes both purchases and offers to
          purchase. Therefore, it is possible that stabilisation occurs but no
          stabilisation transactions are carried out.

    4     The prices stated should be absolute prices e.g. expressed as a
          percentage of nominal value.

    5     The references in article 9(3)(d) to stabilisation transactions
          suggests that the announcement need only include information with
          respect to transactions actually carried out. Additional information
          may be necessary if the stabilising managers undertook stabilisation
          transactions in any associated instruments.
