December 2008 has been extended from Wednesday 17 December 2008 to 5p.m. on

payment will be made through CREST for uncertificated Ordinary Shares pursuant
to the Tender Offer on 7 January 2009.

December 2008. The Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the
Tender Offer will be cancelled.
