Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of rule 8.3 of the City Code if any person is or becomes "interested" (directly or indirectly) in one per cent or
more of any class of "relevant securities" of Latitude all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Latitude (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 3.30pm
(London time) on the 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Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise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 Latitude, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purposes of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Latitude by CdM or by any of their
respective "associates" must all be publicly disclosed by no later than 12 noon (London time) on the 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 City Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to the
