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 SLH, 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 unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn 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  SLH, 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 
SLH, 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."
