On 26 November, 2004 the Panel announced that it had agreed to a request for an
extension under Rule 31.7(a) of the date by which all conditions of the ordinary
share offer by Grafton (the "offer") must be satisfied until 5.00 p.m. on 20

The Panel has been informed by Grafton that the offer remains subject to
clearance by the Competition Authority and consequently, Grafton has requested a

the Panel that it is supportive of such an extension.

Having regard to the circumstances the Panel has agreed to a further extension
under Rule 31.7(a) of the date by which all conditions of the offer must be
