                                  OFFER UPDATE

The Consortium of Terra Firma, Wellcome Trust and HBOS, has decided to withdraw
its potential interest in acquiring Alliance Boots plc ("the Company").



Boots is a critically important national institution, and we are naturally
disappointed not to be able to execute the bold vision we had for the Company
and its critical role in the provision of healthcare in the UK.  However, we are
pleased that the shareholders of Alliance Boots have received a significantly
higher price due to our interest, and we wish the Company and all its
stakeholders well under new ownership.
