YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE PART OF THE WEBSITE THAT URBAN&CIVIC HAS DESIGNATED FOR THE PUBLICATION OF DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACQUISITION. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER AND SIGNIFY YOUR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL BY CLICKING ON THE APPROPRIATE BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE ON THIS PART OF THE URBAN&CIVIC WEBSITE IN GOOD FAITH AND FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT BELOW. 1. ACCESS TO INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION Please read this notice carefully; it applies to all persons who view this part of the Urban&Civic website and, depending upon who you are and where you live, it may affect your rights or responsibilities. This part of the Urban&Civic website contains information relating to the Acquisition. Please note that, as the Acquisition progresses, the information contained on this part of the Urban&Civic website as well as the terms of this disclaimer may be altered or updated. You should read the full text of this disclaimer each time you visit this part of the Urban&Civic website. For regulatory reasons, Urban&Civic must ensure that persons seeking to access this part of the Urban&Civic website are made aware of the appropriate regulations for the country which they are in. In order to view information relating to the Acquisition on this part of the Urban&Civic website, you must read the following and then press “I agree” to confirm that you have read and understood this disclaimer.

OVERSEAS PERSONS Viewing or distribution of the information contained in this part of the Urban&Civic website may not be lawful in certain jurisdictions and may be restricted by law and therefore persons viewing this part of the website, and into whose possession any information in this part of the website comes, should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

NOTICE TO US HOLDERS Urban&Civic shareholders ordinarily resident in the United States or with a registered address in the United States (and any custodian, nominee or trustee holding Urban&Civic shares for persons in the United States or with a registered address in the United States) (“US Holders”) should note that the Acquisition relates to the securities of an English company with a listing on the London Stock Exchange and is proposed to be implemented pursuant to a scheme of arrangement provided for under English law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the Acquisition will be subject to procedural and disclosure requirements and practices applicable to a scheme of arrangement involving a target company in England listed on the London Stock Exchange, which are different from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. If in the future Wellcome exercises the right to implement the Acquisition by way of a takeover offer and determines to extend the offer into the United States, the takeover offer will be made in compliance with applicable United States laws and regulations. Financial information disclosed in respect of the Acquisition has been or will have been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards that may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It may be difficult for US Holders of Urban&Civic shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws since Urban&Civic and Wellcome are organised in countries other than the United States and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of, and some or all of their assets may be located in, jurisdictions other than the United States. US Holders may have difficulty effecting service of process within the United States upon those persons or recovering against judgments of US courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the US federal securities laws. US Holders may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgment. 4. BASIS OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION The information relating to the Acquisition that can be accessed via this part of the Urban&Civic website is being made available in good faith and for information purposes only and is subject to these terms and conditions. Any person seeking access to this part of the Urban&Civic website represents and warrants to Urban&Civic that they are doing so legally and for information purposes only. Making information relating to the Acquisition available in electronic format on this part of the Urban&Civic website is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to the Acquisition or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of the securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. Urban&Civic shareholders should seek advice from an independent financial adviser as to the suitability of any action for the individual concerned. If you are a Urban&Civic shareholder you should take no action based on the information available on this part of the website.
