Dealing Disclosure Requirements 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the "Code"), if any 
person is, or becomes, "interested" 
 (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more 
of any class of "relevant securities" of an offeree company all "dealings" in 
any "relevant securities" of that company (including by means of an option in 
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must 
be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London 
business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement 
will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, 
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which 
the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant 
to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an 
"interest" in "relevant securities" of the offeree, they will be deemed to be a 
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant 
securities" of Goldshield Group plc by any potential offeror or Goldshield Group 
plc, or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later 
than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of 
the relevant transaction. 
 
 
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant 
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in 
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a 
person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes 
in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 
"interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of 
any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. Terms in 
quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's 
website. 
 
 
If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a 
"dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
