Letter from your Company Secretary
10 July 2002
Dear Shareholder,
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2002
We have been contacted by a number of private shareholders who have been
telephoned at home, apparently by representatives of Laxey soliciting an
understanding of their voting intentions. If you are contacted in this way, we
would remind you that, whatever may be said on the telephone, your Board's
recommendations are as follows:
Resolutions 1-13 FOR
Resolutions 14-16 AGAINST
Your Board recommends that you leave BLANK on the proxy card the section naming
the proxy to be appointed, which will have the effect of leaving any matters on
which you choose not to vote to the discretion of the Chairman of the Meeting.
If you give your proxy to Mr Colin Kingsnorth or any other representative of
Laxey, your votes will NOT be cast with the Board's recommendations on all
matters. All proxy forms must be lodged with the registrars by no later than
11.30 am on Sunday 14 July 2002.
It has also been brought to our attention that Laxey have sent out a document
dated 1 July 2002 to a number of private shareholders, although that document
stated that it was only being distributed to shareholders who fall within the
exemptions contained in articles 19 and 49 of the Financial Services and Markets
Act 2000. If you are a private shareholder and think that you have received such
a document, please contact myself at the telephone number below.
If you are in any doubt whatsoever about information that has been given to you
over the telephone, electronically or through the post, please contact myself on
0207 467 2821.
Yours faithfully
Anthony Braine
Company Secretary
