Close Brothers, which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the 
Financial Services Authority, is acting exclusively for Connaught and is acting 
for no one else in connection with the Offer and will not be responsible to 
anyone other than Connaught for providing the protections afforded to clients of 
Close Brothers, nor for providing advice in connection with the Offer or any 
other matters referred to herein. 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person is, or becomes, 
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any class of 
"relevant securities" of Connaught or Fountains plc ("Fountains"), all 
"dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company (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 Scheme Effective Date or the date on which 
the Scheme lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" (for 
the purposes of the City Code) otherwise ends. 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 Connaught or Fountains, 
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 City Code, all "dealings" in "relevant 
securities" of Fountains by Connaught, or of Connaught by Fountains, 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 City Code, which can also be found 
on the 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 Panel.
