Offer being made by Lexicon Partners on behalf of Prudential for the issued and
to be issued shares of Egg not already owned by the Prudential Group, is being

Shareholders.

possible and, in any event, so as to be received by Lloyds TSB Registrars by no

signed and witnessed and returned as soon as possible and, in any event, so as
to be received by Lloyds TSB Registrars by no later than 1.00 p.m. (London Time)
on 20 January 2006.

If you hold Egg Shares in uncertificated form (that is, CREST), to accept the
Offer, an electronic acceptance should be sent through CREST so that the TTE
instruction settles as soon as possible and, in any event, by no later than 1.00
p.m. (London Time) on 20 January 2006.  If you hold Egg Shares as a CREST
