    Dealing Disclosure Requirements

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in one per cent. or
more of any class of "relevant securities" of Netstore, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Netstore (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 p.m.
(London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on
which the Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or if made by an offer until the offer becomes, or is declared,
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn, or in any case on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.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 Netstore, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Code.

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Netstore by 2e2 or Netstore, or by any of their
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12 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 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.
