Rule 8 Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules, if any person
is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any
class of "relevant securities" of IFG, all "dealings" in any "relevant
securities" of IFG (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly
disclosed by not later than 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the "business day"
following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will
continue until the date on which the Offer Period ends. If two or more
persons cooperate on the basis of any agreement, either express or tacit,
either oral or written, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of
IFG, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3
of the Takeover Rules.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Takeover Rules, all "dealings" in
"relevant securities" of IFG by Epiris or Bidco or by any party acting in
concert with any of them, must also be disclosed by no later than 12 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on the "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, can be found on the Takeover
Panel's website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie [1].
"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 above are defined in the Takeover Rules, which can
be found on the Irish Takeover Panel's website www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie
[1].
If you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to disclose a
"dealing" under Rule 8, please consult the Irish Takeover Panel's website at
www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie [1] or contact the Irish Takeover Panel on
telephone number +353 1 678 9020 or fax number +353 1 678 9289.
