DISCLAIMER
This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Offer to
Purchase. No offer or invitation to acquire or exchange any
securities is being made pursuant to this announcement. This
announcement and the Offer to Purchase contain important
information, which must be read carefully before any decision is
made with respect to the Tender Offer. If any holder is in any
doubt as to the action it should take, it is recommended to seek
its own legal, tax and financial advice, including as to any tax
consequences, from its stockbroker, bank manager, lawyer,
accountant or other independent financial adviser. Any individual
or company whose Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer,
bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee must contact such
entity if it wishes to participate in the Tender Offer. None of the
Issuer, the Dealer Manager or the Tender Agent (or any person who
controls, or is a director, officer, employee or agent of such
persons, or any affiliate of such persons) makes any recommendation
as to whether holders should participate in the Tender Offer.
General
Neither this announcement, the Offer to Purchase nor the
electronic transmission thereof constitutes an offer to buy or the
solicitation of an offer to sell Notes (and tenders of Notes for
purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will not be accepted from
holders) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation
is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky
or other laws require the Tender Offer to be made by a licensed
broker or dealer and the Dealer Manager or any of its affiliates is
such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the
Tender Offer shall be deemed to be made by the Dealer Manager or
such affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Issuer in such
jurisdiction.
In addition, each holder participating in the Tender Offer will
be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the
jurisdictions referred to above and generally as set out in the
Offer to Purchase under the heading "Procedures for Tendering
Notes." Any tender of Notes for purchase pursuant to the Tender
Offer from a holder that is unable to make these representations
will not be accepted.
Each of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Dealer Manager and the
Information and Tender Agent reserves the right, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of
Notes for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, whether any such
representation given by a holder is correct and, if such
investigation is undertaken and as a result the Issuer determines
(for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such
tender or submission may be rejected.
