Notice to US investors in UDG The Acquisition relates to the shares of an Irish company and is being made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under Irish company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "US Exchange Act"). Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in Ireland to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. The financial information included in the Information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS and thus 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 US. If, in the future, Bidco exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, which is to be made into the US, such Takeover Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and regulations, including Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the US Exchange Act and any applicable exemptions provided thereunder. It may be difficult for US holders of UDG Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal laws, since Bidco and UDG are located in a non-US jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-US jurisdiction. US holders of UDG Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the 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. Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any US state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Acquisition, or determined if the Information is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the US. US UDG Shareholders also should be aware that the transaction contemplated herein may have tax consequences in the US and, that such consequences, if any, are not described herein. US UDG Shareholders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial advisers in connection with making a decision regarding this transaction. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The information contained or referred to in the website may contain forward-looking statements with respect to certain aspects of the business of UDG, Bidco and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLP, strategies and plans and their expectations relating to the Offer. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate purely to historical or current facts but may include statements about the beliefs and expectations of UDG and its management. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate”, “target”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “believe”, “will”, “may”, “should”, “would”, “could” or other words of similar meaning, but the use of such words is not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors underlying such forward-looking statements could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the relevant document(s) and UDG assumes no obligation to update or correct the Information contained in the website (save to the extent legally required). Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement contained or referred to in the website is intended to be a profit forecast, and no statement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or the earnings per share for the current or future financial periods will necessarily be greater than those for the relevant preceding financial period. UDG shareholders should seek advice from an independent financial adviser as to the suitability of any action concerned. Any action required by a shareholder in connection with the Offer will only be set out in documents sent to or made available to UDG shareholders and any decision made by such shareholders should be made solely and only on the basis of information provided in those documents. CONFIRMATION OF UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTICE By clicking on “I agree” below, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by the terms of the notice set out above and that you are not in, or a resident of, any jurisdiction where to download or view the Information would constitute a breach of securities law or regulation in that jurisdiction. If you click “I disagree” below, we will be unable to provide you with access to the Information and you will be redirected to UDG’s homepage. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant regulatory requirements, UDG expressly disclaims any obligation to disseminate, after the date of the posting of any document or announcement on this webpage, any updates or revisions to any statements in such documents or announcements in relation to the Offer to reflect any change in expectations or events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based.
