Copies of the Prospectus will, following publication, be available from the Company's website and at the Company's registered office, subject to applicable securities laws. Any purchase of Ordinary Shares in the proposed Global Offer should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the final Prospectus to be issued by the Company in connection with the Global Offer and Admission. Before subscribing for or purchasing any Ordinary Shares, persons viewing this announcement should ensure that they fully understand and accept the risks which will be set out in the Prospectus when published. The information in this announcement is for background purposes only and does not purport to be full or complete. No reliance may be placed for any purpose on the information contained in this announcement or its accuracy or completeness.

The information in this announcement is subject to change.

The Global Offer timetable, including the date of Admission, may be influenced by a range of circumstances such as market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Global Offer will proceed and that Admission will occur and you should not base your financial decisions on the Company's intentions in relation to the Global Offer and Admission at this stage. Acquiring investments to which this announcement relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all or part of the amount invested. Persons considering making such an investment should consult an authorised person specialising in advising on such investments. This announcement does not constitute a recommendation concerning the Global Offer. The value of Ordinary Shares can decrease as well as increase. J.P. Morgan Securities plc ("J.P. Morgan") and Goldman Sachs International ("Goldman Sachs") have been appointed as joint sponsors, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch ("Deutsche Bank"), Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan have been appointed as joint global co-ordinators and joint bookrunners, Citigroup Global Markets Limited ("Citigroup") has been appointed as joint bookrunner, HSBC Bank plc ("HSBC") has been appointed as lead manager and Lazard & Co., Limited has been appointed as financial adviser (together, the "Banks"). Deutsche Bank is authorised under German Banking Law (competent authority: European Central Bank) and, in the United Kingdom, by the Prudential Regulation Authority (the "PRA"). It is subject to supervision by the European Central Bank and by BaFin, Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, and is subject to limited regulation in the United Kingdom by the PRA and the FCA. Deutsche Bank is a corporation domiciled in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, operating in the United Kingdom under branch registration number BR000005, acting through its London branch. Each of Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and HSBC is authorised by the PRA and regulated by the FCA and the PRA. Lazard is authorised and regulated by the FCA. The Banks are acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the Global Offer, will not regard any other person (whether or not a recipient of this announcement) as a client in relation to the Global Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients nor for giving advice in relation to the Global Offer, Admission or any transaction or arrangement referred to in this announcement.

In connection with the Global Offer, each of the Banks and any of their respective affiliates, acting as investors for their own accounts, may purchase Ordinary Shares and in that capacity may retain, purchase, sell, offer to sell or otherwise deal for their own accounts in such Ordinary Shares and other securities of the Company or related investments in connection with the Global Offer or otherwise. Accordingly, references in the final Prospectus, once published, to the Ordinary Shares being offered, subscribed, issued, acquired, sold, placed or otherwise dealt in should be read as including any offer, subscription, issue, sale, acquisition, placing or dealing in the Ordinary Shares by any of the Banks and any of their affiliates acting as investors for their own accounts. In addition, certain of the Banks or their affiliates may enter into financing arrangements and swaps in connection with which they or their affiliates may from time to time acquire, hold or dispose of Ordinary Shares. None of the Banks nor any of their respective affiliates intends to disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so.

Apart from the responsibilities and liabilities, if any, which may be imposed on any of the Banks by the FSMA or the regulatory regime established thereunder, or under the regulatory regime of any jurisdiction where exclusion of liability under the relevant regulatory regime would be illegal, void or unenforceable, none of Banks or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for, or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the information in this announcement (or whether any information has been omitted from the announcement) or any other information relating to the Company, its subsidiaries or associated companies, whether written, oral or in a visual or electronic form, and howsoever transmitted or made available or for any loss howsoever arising from any use of this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.

In connection with the Global Offer, Goldman Sachs, as stabilisation manager, or any of its agents, may (but will be under no obligation to), to the extent permitted by applicable law, over-allot Ordinary Shares or effect other transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Ordinary Shares at a higher level than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Goldman Sachs is not required to enter into such transactions and such transactions may be effected on any securities market, over-the-counter market, stock exchange or otherwise and may be undertaken at any time during the period commencing on the date of the commencement of conditional dealings in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. However, there will be no obligation on Goldman Sachs or any of its agents to effect stabilising transactions and there is no assurance that stabilising transactions will be undertaken. Such stabilising measures, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time without prior notice. In no event will measures be taken to stabilise the market price of the Ordinary Shares above the offer price. Save as required by law or regulation, neither Goldman Sachs nor any of its agents intends to disclose the extent of any over-allotments made and/or stabilisation transactions conducted in relation to the Global Offer.

In connection with the Global Offer, Goldman Sachs, as stabilisation manager, may, for stabilisation purposes, over-allot Ordinary Shares up to a maximum of 15% of the total number of Ordinary Shares included in the Global Offer. For the purposes of allowing it to cover short positions resulting from any such over-allotments and/or from sales of Ordinary Shares effected by it during the stabilisation period, Goldman Sachs will enter into over-allotment arrangements with certain existing shareholders pursuant to which Goldman Sachs may purchase or procure purchasers for additional Ordinary Shares up to a maximum of 15% of the total number of Ordinary Shares included in the Global Offer (the "Over-allotment Shares") at the offer price. The over-allotment arrangements will be exercisable in whole or in part, upon notice by Goldman Sachs, for 30 calendar days after the commencement of conditional dealings in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange. Any Over-allotment Shares sold by Goldman Sachs will be sold on the same terms and conditions as the Ordinary Shares being sold in the Global Offer and will form a single class for all purposes with the other Ordinary Shares.
