 to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, such offer will be made in compliance with applicable U. S. laws and regulations.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Acquisition by a U. S. holder as consideration for the transfer of its H& T shares pursuant to the Scheme will likely be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and under applicable United States state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each H& T shareholder is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to them.

In accordance with normal United Kingdom practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the U. S. Exchange Act (to the extent applicable), Bidco, its nominees or its brokers (acting as agents) may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, H& T shares outside of the U. S., other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition becomes Effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be made, they would be made outside of the U. S. and would be in accordance with applicable law, including the U. S. Exchange Act and the Code. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www. londonstockexchange. com.
