Dealing disclosure requirements under the Takeover Code

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code, if any person is, or
becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in one per cent. or more of any
class of "relevant securities" of Bridgewell or of Landsbanki, all "dealings" in
any such "relevant securities" (including by means of an option in respect of,
or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the London business day
following the date of the relevant transaction.  This requirement will continue
until the date on which the Scheme becomes effective (expected to be Thursday 9
August 2007) or until the Scheme lapses or is withdrawn. If two or more persons
act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or
informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Bridgewell or of
Landsbanki, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule
8.3. Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Takeover Code, all "dealings" in "
relevant securities" of Bridgewell or of Landsbanki by Landsbanki or by
Bridgewell, or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no
later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the
date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a
person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes
in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an
"interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of
any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. Terms in
quotation marks are defined in the Takeover Code, which can also be found on the
Takeover Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are
required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Takeover
Panel.
