Notice to US holders of GG shares

The Takeover Bid will qualify for “Tier I” exemption from the tender offer rules included in Regulation 14E under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and otherwise will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Belgian Takeover Laws and the UK Takeover Code. Accordingly, the Takeover Bid will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that may be different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law.

The Takeover Bid will be made for the securities of a UK company and is subject to UK and Belgian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States.

It may be difficult for US Shareholders to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the US federal securities laws in connection with the Takeover Bid since GG is located outside the United States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States. US Shareholders may not be able to sue GG or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel GG and its affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction or judgment of a US court.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, in accordance with normal Belgian practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Congra and its members or their respective nominees, or brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Shares other than pursuant to the Takeover Bid such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases outside the United States during the period in which the Takeover Bid remains open for acceptance. In accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5(b) such purchases, or arrangements to purchase, must comply with the Belgian Takeover Laws. Any information about such purchases will be, to the extent required, disclosed by way of announcement.

Neither the Takeover Bid nor this Information has been approved or disapproved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the adequacy or accuracy of the Information or the merits of the Takeover Bid. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Takeover Bid by a US Shareholder may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each holder of Shares is urged to consult his independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the Takeover Bid.
