Failure to comply with any such restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this announcement will not be and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction. This announcement has been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law and the Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction outside of England. In particular, this announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States and the New Travis Perkins Shares, which will be issued in connection with the Acquisition, have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or under the securities law of any state, district or other jurisdiction of the United States, and no regulatory clearance in respect of the New Travis Perkins Shares has been, or will be, applied for in any jurisdiction other than the UK. The New Travis Perkins Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the US Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. It is expected that the New Travis Perkins Shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. The New Travis Perkins Shares may not be offered, sold, resold, delivered or distributed, directly or indirectly, in, into or from any restricted jurisdiction or to, or for the account or benefit of, any resident of any restricted jurisdiction absent an exemption from registration or an exemption under relevant securities law. Unless Travis Perkins otherwise determines, relevant clearances and registrations have not been, nor will they be, sought or obtained, nor have any steps been taken, nor will any steps be taken, to enable the Loan Notes to be publicly offered in compliance with applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction. The Loan Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state, district or other jurisdiction of the United States and the Loan Notes are not being offered in, and may not be transferred into, the United States. Accordingly, Scheme Shareholders in the United States will not be eligible to receive Loan Notes. The Loan Notes may not (subject to certain limited exceptions) be offered, sold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, in any other jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction or would require registration thereof in such jurisdiction. Notice to US investors in BSS: The Acquisition relates to the shares of a UK company and is proposed to be made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under the laws of England and Wales. The Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement, which differ from the disclosure and other requirements of US securities laws. Financial information included in the relevant documentation will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom that may not be comparable to the financial statements of US companies. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, it will be made in accordance with the procedural and filing requirements of the US securities laws, to the extent applicable. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, the New Travis Perkins Shares to be issued in connection with such Offer will not be registered under the US Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state, district or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act or such other securities laws. Travis Perkins does not intend to register any such New Travis Perkins Shares or part thereof in the United States or to conduct a public offering of the New Travis Perkins Shares in the United States.
