Hochschild Mining plc announces proposed Equity Placing to raise approximately $48-$96 million1

Hochschild Mining plc ("Hochschild" or the "Company") today announces its intention to place between 16,905,067 and 33,810,134 new ordinary shares of 25 pence each (the "Placing") to raise approximately $48-$96 million1 of proceeds.

The proceeds will be used to partially fund the acquisition of the 40% interests held by International Minerals Corporation in the Pallancata mine and Inmaculada project (the "Peruvian Assets") which is being announced concurrently (the "Acquisition"). Prior to the Acquisition, Hochschild holds a 60% interest in the Peruvian Assets. Please refer to the acquisition announcement published on 2 October 2013 for further details of the Acquisition. Please note that completion of the Placing is not conditional on the closing of the Acquisition, which is subject to a number of conditions, including approval of the Company's shareholders in an extraordinary general meeting to be held in due course. 

On 21 August 2013, Hochschild published its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2013. Hochschild is of the view that there has been no significant change to the Group's trading and prospects since that date. Hochschild remains on track to produce 20 million attributable silver equivalent ounces in 2013. In addition, since Hochschild's interim results, there has been no material change to the overall level of cost savings expected to be delivered as part of the Company's cashflow optimisation programme, first announced in May 2013.

Hochschild expects the Acquisition to be earnings enhancing in the first full year of ownership.

Eduardo Hochschild, Executive Chairman of Hochschild, has provided an irrevocable undertaking to vote all his current shareholding in Hochschild, representing, in aggregate, 182,415,206 shares, or 54.0% of the currently issued share capital, as well as all shares that he indirectly subscribes to as part of the Placing, in favour of the Acquisition at an extraordinary general meeting of Hochschild shareholders that will be convened in due course to approve the Acquisition.

The Placing

Under the terms and conditions of the Placing, Hochschild intends to place between 16,905,067 and 33,810,134 Placing Shares, representing approximately 4.99%-9.99% of the Company's existing issued ordinary share capital immediately prior to the Placing, to raise approximately $48-$96 million1.

The Placing is being conducted, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, through an accelerated book-building process to be carried out by Merrill Lynch International ("BofA Merrill Lynch") and Goldman Sachs International ("GSI") who are acting as joint bookrunners in relation to the Placing (together, the "Joint Bookrunners"). Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. ("BBVA") is acting as co-manager in relation to the Placing. The book will open at 7am BST. The timing of the closing of the book, the identity of persons (including individuals, funds or otherwise) by whom or on whose behalf a commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares has been given (whether orally or in writing) ("Placees"), pricing and the basis of the allocations are at the discretion of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners. The number of Placing Shares and the price at which the Placing Shares are to be placed (the "Placing Price") will be agreed by the Company with the Joint Bookrunners at the close of the book-building process. Details of the number of Placing Shares and the Placing Price will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the book-building process.

The Placing Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of such shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares. The Placing will be made on a non-pre-emptive basis.

The Company will apply for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on the premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place and that trading will commence on 8 October 2013. As part of the Placing, subject to customary exceptions, (i) the Company has agreed that they will not issue or sell Ordinary Shares for a period ending 90 days after Admission, and (ii) each of the directors of the Company who hold Ordinary Shares have agreed that they will not sell Ordinary Shares for a period ending 180 days after Admission, in each case without the prior written consent of the Joint Bookrunners.

The Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon Admission becoming effective and the placing agreement made between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners becoming unconditional and not being terminated. It is anticipated that the settlement date will be 7 October 2013.

In connection with the Placing, Eduardo Hochschild has irrevocably undertaken to subscribe, through Inversiones Pacasmayo S.A. (an entity controlled by him), for the lower of (i) such number of Placing Shares as is equal to an amount representing not more than 4.99 per cent. of the total issued share capital of the Company prior to completion of the Placing and (ii) such number of Placing Shares as results in an aggregate consideration of an amount equal to not less than $50,000,000 being payable for such Placing Shares such that immediately following completion of the Placing, Eduardo Hochschild will indirectly hold not less than 50.1% of the total issued share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis. This commitment is subject to the Placing proceeding in accordance with the terms of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Agreement not being terminated prior to Admission.

The Appendix to this Announcement (which forms part of this Announcement) sets out the terms and conditions of the Placing.

Investors will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement in its entirety (including the Appendix) and to be making an offer on the Terms and Conditions and providing the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and undertakings contained in the Appendix.

This Announcement contains (or may contain) certain forward-looking statements with respect to certain of the Company's plans and its current goals and expectations, financial condition and performance and which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "aim", "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, amongst others, statements regarding the Company's probable, inferred or contingent mineral resources or reserves, future financial position, income growth, impairment charges, business strategy, projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs, estimates of capital expenditure, and plans, dividend growth and objectives for future operations of the Company and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances, including, but not limited to, UK and Peruvian domestic and global economic and business conditions, the effects of continued volatility in credit markets, market-related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, changes in legislation, the further development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to past, current and future periods, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of standards under IFRS, the outcome of pending and future litigation or regulatory investigations, the success of future explorations, acquisitions and other strategic transactions and the impact of competition. A number of these factors are beyond the Company's control. In addition, even if the results of operations, financial position and liquidity, and the development of the markets and the industry in which the Company operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

As a result, the Company's actual future results may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in the Company's forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which are not guarantees of future performance. Any forward-looking statements made in this Announcement by or on behalf of the Company speak only as of the date of this document, reflect the Company's current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company's operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity.

APPENDIX

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLACEES ONLY REGARDING THE PLACING

Defined terms used in this Appendix are set out at the end of this Appendix.

Details of the Placing Agreement and of the Placing Shares

The Joint Bookrunners have today entered into an agreement with the Company (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to the conditions set out in that agreement, the Joint Bookrunners, as agents for and on behalf of the Company, have agreed to use reasonable endeavours to procure placees (the "Placees") for between 16,905,067 and 33,810,134 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company of 25 pence each (the "Placing Shares") at a price determined following completion of an accelerated bookbuild process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild") described in this Announcement and set out in the Placing Agreement. Subject to agreement with the Company as to the number and price of the Placing Shares to be placed with the Placees, to the extent that such Placees fail to pay for all the Placing Shares, the Joint Bookrunners have agreed to purchase those Placing Shares for which payment at the agreed price has not been received.

The Company has also appointed the Joint Bookrunners as underwriters for the purposes of underwriting the settlement of the Placing at such price, to the extent such a price is agreed and set out in an executed version of the Terms of Sale and the Joint Bookrunners have accepted such appointment in connection with the Placing relying on the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Placing Agreement.

The Placing Shares have been duly authorised and will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares"), including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

The Placing Shares will be issued free of any pre-emption rights, encumbrance, lien or other security interest. The Company confirms that it is entitled to allot the Placing Shares pursuant to section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 as amended and that section 561 of that Act does not apply to such allotment.

Lock-up

As part of the Placing, subject to customary exceptions, (i) the Company has agreed that they will not issue or sell Ordinary Shares for a period ending 90 days after Admission, and (ii) each of the directors of the Company who hold Ordinary Shares have agreed that they will not sell Ordinary Shares for a period ending 180 days after Admission, in each case without the prior written consent of the Joint Bookrunners. The Placing Agreement does not prevent the Company from granting or satisfying exercises of options granted pursuant to the terms of existing employee share schemes of the Company as disclosed in publicly available information

Application for listing and admission to trading

Application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") as the competent authority for admission of the Placing Shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA (the "Official List") for the purposes of Part VI of FSMA and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on its main market for listed securities (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 7 October 2013 and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.

Bookbuild

The Joint Bookrunners will today commence the Bookbuild to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

The Joint Bookrunners shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

1 The Joint Bookrunners are acting as joint bookrunners and agents of the Company in connection with the Placing.

2 Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by either of the Joint Bookrunners. Each of the Joint Bookrunners and their respective affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild as principal.

3 The allotment and issue of the Placing Shares to Placees by the Company will be in consideration of the transfer to the Company by BofA Merrill Lynch of shares in JerseyCo, pursuant to the Subscription and Transfer Agreement. The consideration from the Company for the transfer of the shares in JerseyCo will be satisfied by the issue of the Placing Shares to the Placees by the Company. BofA Merrill Lynch will procure the allotment by the Company of such Placing Shares to Placees by effecting the necessary transfer from BofA Merrill Lynch to the Company of shares in JerseyCo.

4 The Bookbuild will establish a single price payable to the Joint Bookrunners by all Placees whose bids are successful (the "Placing Price"). The Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares to be issued will be agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild. Any discount to the market price of the Ordinary Shares will be determined in accordance with the Listing Rules of the FCA. The Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following the completion of the Bookbuild.

5 To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone to their usual sales or equity capital markets contact at either of the Joint Bookrunners. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for at either the Placing Price, which is ultimately established by the Company and the Joint Bookrunners, or at prices up to a price limit specified in its bid. Bids may be scaled down by the Joint Bookrunners on the basis referred to in paragraph 9 below. Each Joint Bookrunner reserves the right not to accept bids or to accept bids in part rather than in whole. The acceptance of the bids shall be at the Joint Bookrunners' absolute discretion.

6 The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 2 October 2013 but may be closed earlier or later at the sole discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed. The Company reserves the right (upon the agreement of the Joint Bookrunners) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its absolute discretion.

7 Each prospective Placee's allocation (its "Placing Participation") will be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners and will be confirmed orally by one of the Joint Bookrunners as agent of the Company following the close of the Bookbuild. That oral confirmation will constitute an irrevocable and legally binding commitment upon that person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on these Terms and Conditions and in accordance with the Company's articles of association.

8 Each prospective Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a contract note issued to such Placee by the Joint Bookrunners. These Terms and Conditions will be deemed incorporated in that contract note.

9 Each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the Joint Bookrunners as principal, to pay to the Joint Bookrunners (or as they may direct) in cleared funds at the time referred to in paragraph 13 below, an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to subscribe for and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee. Each Placee's obligation will be owed to the relevant Joint Bookrunner. The Company shall allot such Placing Shares to each Placee following each Placee's payment to the Joint Bookrunners of such amount and the transfer to the Company by BofA Merrill Lynch of shares in JerseyCo pursuant to the Subscription and Transfer Agreement.

10 Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 above, the Joint Bookrunners may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in agreement with the Company and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine. The Joint Bookrunners may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 4 and 5 above, subject to the prior consent of the Company, (i) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time and (ii) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The acceptance of bids shall be at the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners in agreement with the Company.

11 A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Announcement and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and, except with the consent of the Joint Bookrunners, will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted.

12 Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by the Joint Bookrunners or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

13 Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

14 All obligations under the Bookbuild and the Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing Agreement".

15 By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

16 To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither of the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any responsibility or liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither of the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any person acting on their behalf shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the fullest extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Joint Bookrunners' conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may determine.

17 No prospectus

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be prepared in relation to the Placing, and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of publicly available information taken together with the information contained in this Announcement (including this Appendix) released by the Company today, and any Exchange Information (as defined below) previously published by the Company and subject to the further terms set forth in the contract note to be provided to prospective Placees.

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement (including this Appendix) and the publicly available information released by or on behalf of the Company is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information, representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of the Company (other than publicly available information) or the Joint Bookrunners or their respective Affiliates (other than the amount of the relevant Placing Participation in the oral confirmation given to Placees and the contract note referred to below) or any other person and neither of the Joint Bookrunners, none of their respective Affiliates, any persons acting on their behalf or the Company nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received (regardless of whether or not such information, representation, warranty or statement was given or made by or on behalf of any such persons). Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

By accepting a participation in the Placing, each Placee acknowledges that its agreement to subscribe for Placing Shares is not by way of acceptance of a public offer made by way of a prospectus, but is by way of a collateral contract made pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

18 In addition, either of the Joint Bookrunners or their respective Affiliates may enter into financing arrangements and swaps with investors in connection with which the Joint Bookrunners or their respective Affiliates may from time to time acquire, hold or dispose of Ordinary Shares.

Conditions of the Placing

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms. The obligations of the Joint Bookrunners under the Placing Agreement are conditional on:

Termination of the Placing Agreement

Either Joint Bookrunner, in its absolute discretion, is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement in relation to its obligations in respect of the Placing Shares by giving notice to the Company if:

1 there has been a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement, which any Joint Bookrunner, acting in good faith, considers to be material in the context of the Company, the Group taken as a whole, the Placing or Admission;

2 any statement contained in any of the Placing Documents becomes untrue, incorrect or misleading in any respect, or any matter arises, which would, if the Placing was made at that time, constitute a material omission from such Placing Document or a material omission from or misleading inaccuracy in the information made publicly available by the Company since 31 December 2012, or any of them, and which, in any such case, any Joint Bookrunner, acting in good faith, considers to be adverse and material in the context of the Company, the Group taken as a whole, the Placing or Admission;

7 there shall have occurred, in the opinion of the Joint Bookrunners (acting in good faith), since the date of the Placing Agreement (i) any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, the United Kingdom, member states of the EEA or Peru, (ii) a change or development likely to result in a change in national or international financial, political, economic or stock market conditions (primary or secondary), (iii) an incident of terrorism, outbreak or escalation of hostilities, war, declaration of martial law or any other calamity or crisis, (iv) a suspension or material limitation in trading of securities generally or the securities of the Company on any stock exchange or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of such exchanges, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, Peru or in the EEA, (v) an adverse change or a prospective adverse change since the date of the Placing Agreement in Peruvian, United States or United Kingdom taxation affecting the Shares or the transfer thereof or exchange controls have been imposed by Peru, the United States, the United Kingdom or a member state of the EEA, or (vi) any change in currency exchange rates or exchange controls or a disruption of settlement systems or a material disruption or general moratorium in commercial banking has been declared by the United States, the United Kingdom, a member state of the EEA or Peru authorities, in each case the effect of which (either singly or in the aggregate) in the opinion of any Joint Bookrunner (acting in good faith) is (i) such as would be likely to prejudice the success of the offering and distribution of the Placing Shares, (ii) such as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Placing Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placing Shares or (iii) otherwise material in the context of the Company, the Group taken as a whole, the Placing or Admission.

Upon such termination, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be released and discharged (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination) from their respective obligations under or pursuant to the Placing Agreement subject to certain exceptions and all obligations under these Terms and Conditions will automatically terminate.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by either Joint Bookrunner of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the respective Joint Bookrunner and that it need not make any reference to Placees in this regard and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Joint Bookrunners shall have no responsibility or liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure so to exercise.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that their commitment is irrevocable and not terminable by them in any circumstances.

Registration and settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN GB00B1FW5029) following Admission will take place within the system administered by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited ("CREST"), using the delivery versus payment mechanism, subject to certain exceptions. The Company reserves the right to require settlement for and delivery of the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees in certificated form if, in the Joint Bookrunners' reasonable opinion, delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Following the close of the Bookbuild for the Placing, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a contract note stating the number of Placing Shares to be allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to BofA Merrill Lynch (as settlement bank) and settlement instructions. Placees should settle against CREST ID: 686. It is expected that such contract note will be despatched on 7 October 2013 and that this will also be the trade date.

Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with BofA Merrill Lynch.

The Company will deliver the Placing Shares to a CREST account operated by BofA Merrill Lynch (as settlement bank) as agent for the Company and BofA Merrill Lynch (as settlement bank) will enter its delivery (DEL) instruction into the CREST system. BofA Merrill Lynch will hold any Placing Shares delivered to this account as nominee for the Placees. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Placing Shares to that Placee against payment.

It is expected that settlement will be on 7 October 2013 on a T+3 basis in accordance with the instructions given to BofA Merrill Lynch (as settlement bank).

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above LIBOR as determined by the Joint Bookrunners.

Each Placee agrees that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Bookrunners may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Company's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and shall be required to bear any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or other stamp, securities, transfer, registration, execution, documentary or other similar impost, duty or tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject to as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with interest and penalties) is payable in respect of the issue of the Placing Shares, neither the Joint Bookrunners nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

The foregoing acknowledgements, agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties and confirmations are given for the benefit of the Company and each of the Joint Bookrunners (for their own benefit and, where relevant, the benefit of their respective Affiliates and any person acting on their behalf) and are irrevocable. The Company, the Joint Bookrunners and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements. The Placing Shares will be issued subject to the terms and conditions of this Appendix. The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to the subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes, and is based on a warranty from each Placee, that neither it, nor the person specified by it for registration as holder, of Placing Shares is, or is acting as nominee or agent for, and that the Placing Shares will not be allotted to, a person whose business either is or includes issuing depositary receipts or the provision of clearance services. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement relates to any other dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax, and neither the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify the Joint Bookrunners accordingly.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other similar impost, duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares.

Placees should note that the Company shall have no obligation to recognise any offer, sale, pledge or other transfer made other than in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth and described herein and that the Company may make notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent or registrar of the Placing Shares.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with the Joint Bookrunners, any money held in an account with any of either of the Joint Bookrunners on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under FSMA. The Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from the relevant Joint Bookrunners' money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by the relevant Joint Bookrunner in the course of its own business; and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

All times and dates in this Announcement may be subject to amendment. The Joint Bookrunners shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

The rights and remedies of each of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company under these Terms and Conditions are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

Each Placee may be asked to disclose in writing or orally to the Joint Bookrunners:

(a) if he is an individual, his nationality; or

(b) if he is a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.
