The Offeror has the right under the Takeovers Code to extend the Offers until such date as it may determine in accordance with the Takeovers Code (or as permitted by the Executive in accordance with the Takeovers Code). The Offeror will issue an announcement in relation to any extension of the Offers, which announcement will state either the next Offer Closing Date or, if the Offers are at that time unconditional as to acceptances, a statement that the Offers will remain open until further notice. In the latter case, at least 14 days' notice in writing must be given before the Offers are closed to the Independent Shareholders and the Optionholders who have not accepted the relevant Offers.

Note 3: Beneficial owners of Offer Shares who hold their Offer Shares in CCASS directly as an investor participant or indirectly via a broker or custodian participant should note the timing requirements (as set out in Appendix I to this Composite Document) for causing instructions to be made to CCASS in accordance with the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures.

Note 6: In any event, in accordance with the Takeovers Code, when the Offers become or are declared unconditional in all respects, at least 14 days' notice in writing must be given before the Offers are closed to the Independent Shareholders and the Optionholders who have not accepted the Offers. The Offeror has the right, subject to the Takeovers Code, to extend the Offers until such date as it may determine or as permitted by the Executive.
