  NOTES REGARDING DISCLOSURE

   Man Financial Ltd ("MAN") is the beneficial owner of 4,437,985 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 client will make a profit
if the  contract value  increases.

  Conversely, if a client of Man takes a short position, the client 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 whereby
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. A client's Spread bet   position is described   the
client's "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   the client 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.
