Each of Goldman Sachs International, UBS Limited, Barclays Bank
PLC, Merrill Lynch International, Investec Bank plc, Nomura
International plc and RBC Europe Limited (together, the "Banks"),
each of which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority
and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential
Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom, is acting exclusively
for the Secretary of State for Business Innovation and Skills (the
"Secretary of State"), Postal Services Holding Company plc (the
"Selling Shareholder") and the Company and no one else in
connection with the Offer and will not regard any other person
(whether or not a recipient of this announcement) as its client in
relation to the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other
than the Secretary of State, the Selling Shareholder and the
Company for providing the protections afforded to their respective
clients or for giving advice in relation to the Offer or the
contents of this announcement or any transaction, arrangement or

In connection with the Offer, each of the Banks or any of their
respective affiliates, acting as investors for their own
account(s), may purchase Ordinary Shares and in that capacity may
retain, purchase, sell, offer to sell or otherwise deal for its or
their own accounts in such Ordinary Shares and other securities of
the Company or related investments in connection with the Offer or
otherwise. Accordingly, references in the Prospectus to the
Ordinary Shares being offered, acquired or otherwise dealt in
should be read as including any offer to, or acquisition or dealing
by, the Banks or any of their respective affiliates acting as an
investor for its or their own account(s). The Banks or any of them
or any of their respective affiliates do not intend to disclose the
extent of any such investment or transactions otherwise than in
accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so. In
addition, in connection with the Offer, certain of the Banks may
enter into financing arrangements with investors, such as share
swap arrangements or lending arrangements where Ordinary Shares are
used as collateral that could result in such Banks or any of their
respective affiliates from time to time acquiring, holding and/or
disposing of shareholdings in the Company.
None of the Banks or any of their respective subsidiary
undertakings, affiliates or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees, advisers, agents or any other person accepts
any responsibility or liability whatsoever for, or makes any
representation or warranty, express or implied, the contents of
this announcement, including its truth, accuracy, completeness,

announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection
therewith.
In connection with the Offer, UBS Limited, as stabilising
manager, or any of its agents, may (but will be under no obligation
to), to the extent permitted by applicable law, over-allot Ordinary
Shares or effect other transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Ordinary Shares at a higher level than that
which might otherwise prevail in the open market. UBS Limited will
not be required to enter into such transactions and such
transactions may be effected on any stock market, over-the-counter
market, stock exchange or otherwise and may be undertaken at any
time during the period commencing on the date of the commencement
of conditional dealings of the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock
Exchange and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter.
However, there will be no obligation on UBS Limited or any of its
agents to effect stabilising transactions and there is no assurance
that stabilising transactions will be undertaken. Such stabilising
measures, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time without
prior notice. In no event will measures be taken to stabilise the
market price of the Ordinary Shares above the offer price. Save as
required by law or regulation, neither UBS Limited nor any of its
agents intends to disclose the extent of any over-allotments made
and/or stabilisation transactions conducted in relation to the
Offer.
