Matters discussed in this announcement may constitute forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical
facts and may be identified by words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”,
“strategy”, “intends”, “estimate”, “will”, “may”, “continue”, “should” and
similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this release are based
upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions. Although the Seller believes that these assumptions were reasonable
when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors which
are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond their control. By their
nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially
different from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Except for any ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required
by the applicable law, the Seller does not have any intention or obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after distribution of
this announcement, whether to reflect any future events or circumstances or
otherwise.

None of the Seller, the Managers or any of their respective subsidiary
undertakings, affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, advisers, agents or any other person accepts any responsibility
whatsoever for, or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as
to the truth, accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information or opinions
in this announcement (or whether any information has been omitted from the
announcement) or any other information relating to the Company, the Seller, 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.

Each of the Managers is acting for the Seller only in connection with the
Offering and no one else, and will not be responsible to anyone other than the
Seller for providing the protections offered to clients nor for providing advice
in relation to the Offering, the contents of this announcement or any
transaction, arrangement or other matter referred to in this announcement.

In connection with the Offering, the Managers and their respective affiliates
may take up a portion of the Shares offered in the Offering as a principal
position and in that capacity may retain, purchase, sell, offer to sell for
their own accounts such Shares and other securities of the Company or related
investments in connection with the Offering or otherwise. In addition, the
Managers and their respective affiliates may enter into financing arrangements
(including swaps or contracts for differences) with investors in connection with
which the Managers and their respective affiliates may from time to time
acquire, hold or dispose of Shares of the Company. Certain of the Managers or
their affiliates may be lenders and/or agents under lending facilities with the
Seller and may receive a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay
amounts outstanding under such facilities. The Managers do not intend to
disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions, other than in
accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so.

This announcement is for information purposes only and is not to be relied upon
in substitution for the exercise of independent judgment. It is not intended as
investment advice and under no circumstances is it to be used or considered as
an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a
