A prospectus in connection with the placing is expected to be released on or about 2 November 2007.

The Company is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and its shares are available to trade on the London Stock Exchange's International Bulletin Board. The minimum subscription amount under the placing is £50,000 (in the case of subscriptions for new Sterling shares), €75,000 (in the case of subscriptions for Euro shares) or US$100,000 (in the case of subscriptions for Dollar shares).
