Court Sanction of Scheme of Arrangement Intec Telecom Systems plc
In connection with the Scheme to effect the acquisition of Intec Telecom Systems
plc ("Intec") by CSG Systems UK Limited ("CSG"), Intec and CSG are pleased to
announce that the Scheme has been sanctioned by the Court today.
In order for the Scheme to become effective in accordance with its terms, the
Court will now need to confirm the associated Capital Reduction at the Second
Court hearing. This Hearing will take place on 29 November 2010.
Following confirmation of the Capital Reduction by the Court, it is expected
that the listing of Intec Shares will be cancelled at 8:00 a.m. on 30 November
2010, the anticipated Effective Date of the Scheme.
Pending the Effective Date of the Scheme, Intec has applied for dealings in its
Shares to be suspended with effect from 8:00 a.m. on 26 November 2010.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same
meanings as given to them in the circular containing the Scheme that was sent to
Intec Shareholders on 12 October 2010.
A copy of this announcement will shortly be available on the Intec website at
http://www.intec-telecom-systems.com/ by no later than 12 noon on 26 November
2010.

Dealing Disclosure requirements
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the City Code, any person who is interested in one per
cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of
any paper offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which
it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash)
must make an "Opening Position Disclosure" following the commencement of the
offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any paper
offeror is first identified.
An "Opening Position Disclosure" must contain details of the person's interests
and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of
each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper offeror(s). An "Opening
Position Disclosure" by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no
later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the
commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any
paper offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant
securities of the offeree company or of a paper offeror prior to the deadline
for making an "Opening Position Disclosure" must instead make a "Dealing
Disclosure".
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the City Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in
one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company
or of any paper offeror must make a "Dealing Disclosure" if the person deals in
any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper offeror. A
"Dealing Disclosure" must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the
person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any
relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper
offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed
under Rule 8. A "Dealing Disclosure" by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies
must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day
following the date of the relevant dealing.
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant
securities of an offeree company or a paper offeror, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
"Opening Position Disclosures" must also be made by the offeree company and by
any offeror and "Dealing Disclosures" must also be made by the offeree company,
by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules
8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant
securities "Opening Position Disclosures" and "Dealing Disclosures" must be made
can be found in the "Disclosure Table" on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant
securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was
first identified. If you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to
make an "Opening Position Disclosure" or a "Dealing Disclosure", you should
contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44(0)20 7638 0129.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the City Code, which can also be found
on the Panel's website.
