SEGRO reserves the right to vary the form of consideration, to increase the number of SEGRO shares to be issued for each Brixton share or, pursuant to Rule 2.4(c) of the Code, with the recommendation of the Brixton Board, to reduce the number of SEGRO shares to be issued for each Brixton share.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of "relevant securities" of SEGRO or of Brixton, 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 3:30pm (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until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.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 SEGRO or Brixton, 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 SEGRO or Brixton by SEGRO or Brixton, 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 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. J.P. Morgan Cazenove Limited ("J.P. Morgan Cazenove") and UBS Limited ("UBS"), which are authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority, are acting exclusively for SEGRO and no one else in connection with the matters set out in this announcement and are not advising any other person and accordingly will not be responsible to any person other than SEGRO for providing the protections afforded to clients of J.P. Morgan Cazenove and UBS or for providing advice in relation to the matters described in this announcement.
