Bear Stearns International Trading Limited is the beneficial owner of 4,309,652
Warner Chilcott Plc ordinary shares. 2,011,404 of these shares are held to hedge
Contract for Differences ("CFD") or Equity Swap positions for clients.
A long CFD is a product where the client to whom the product is sold is taking a
long economic interest in the underlying share price such that the client can
realize a gain if the price of the underlying securities rises above the
reference price.
An Equity Swap is a product where an agreement between two counterparties sees
one party receive the return on an asset from the other party and makes a
payment to the other party based on a fixed or floating rate of interest. The
return can be either the price return or the total return (I.E. Including
dividends).
The control of voting rights in relation to the underlying shares used to hedge
the stock are wholly owned by Bear Stearns International Trading Limited.
The CFD contracts are open-ended and there is no rollover into new contracts.
