NOTES REGARDING DISCLOSURE

Man Financial Ltd ("MAN") is the beneficial owner of  5,342,827  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,  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.
