NOTES REGARDING DISCLOSURE

MAN FIN Ltd is the beneficial owner of 3,747,567  Ordinary Shares in the above
company which are held to hedge CFD &  Spread Betting positions (see below)
established between MAN and its clients. 

A Contract for Difference or CFD is an agreement between two parties to 
exchange, at the close of the contract, the difference between the opening price 
and the closing price, multiplied by the number of reference shares specified 
within the contract. The 'reference shares' are the underlying shares specified 
in the CFD. The economic performance of the CFD is determined by the performance 
of the underlying reference shares. Although CFDs replicate the price movement 
of the underlying reference shares, they convey no right or requirement to 
acquire or deliver the physical shares.  

The contract value of a CFD is defined as the number of reference shares 
specified in the contract, multiplied  by the price of  the underlying reference 
share. If a client of Man takes a long position, the customer will make a profit 
if the contract value increases.  

Conversely, if a customer of Man Financial Ltd takes a short position, the 
customer will benefit if the contract value falls.  

The CFD contracts detailed below are open-ended and without predetermined 
expiry/close value   

A Spread Bet is a product where the client to whom the product is sold can
realise a gain or a loss depending   on whether the price of the underlying
security increases above or falls below the reference price. The client's Spread
bet position is described as his "stake". A "stake" is expressed in pounds
(sterling) per "point" and a "point" is the price in pence of the underlying
shares. A client with a "stake" of #100 per point will make a gain of #100 for
every penny increase in the underlying shares and he/she has an exposure
equivalent to 10,000 shares.


DEFINITION OF ASSOCIATE

It is not practicable to define associate in terms which would cover all the
different relationships which may  exist in an offer.  The term associate is
intended to cover all persons (whether or not acting in concert) who directly or
indirectly own or deal in the  shares of an offeror or the offeree company in
an offer and who have (in addition to their normal interests as  shareholders)
an  interest or potential interest, whether commercial, financial or personal,
in the outcome of the offer  

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the term associate will 
normally include the following:-

(1) an offeror's or the offeree company's parent, subsidiaries and fellow
subsidiaries, and their associated  companies, and companies of which such
companies are associated companies (for this purpose ownership or control of 
20% or more of the equity share capital of a company is regarded as the test of
associated company status);

(2) banks and financial and other professional advisers (including
stockbrokers)* to an offeror, the offeree  company or any  company covered in
(1), including persons controlling#, controlled by or under the same control as
such banks,  financial and  other professional advisers;

(3) the directors (together with their close relatives & related trusts) of an
offeror, the offeree company or  any company  covered in (1);

(4) the pension funds of an offeror, the offeree company or any company covered
in (1);

(5) any investment company, unit trust or other person whose investments an
associate manages on a   discretionary basis, in  respect of the relevant 
investment accounts;

(6) a person who owns or controls 5% or more of any class of relevant
securities (as defined in paragraphs (a)   to (d) in Note 2 on   Rule 8) issued
by an offeror or an offeree company, including a person who as a result of any
transaction owns   or controls 5% or   more. When two or more persons act
pursuant to an agreement or understanding (formal or informal) to acquire or  
control such   securities, they will be deemed to be a single person for the
purpose of this paragraph. Such securities   managed on a   discretionary basis
by an investment management group will, unless otherwise agreed by the Panel,
also be   deemed to be those  of a single person (see Note 8 on Rule 8); and

(7) a company having a material trading arrangement with an offeror or the
offeree company.   Paragraphs (1)-(7) are typical cases. Paragraph (8) below is
a category to cover associate status not within   (1)-(7).

(8) Other.
