Overseas jurisdictions

This Information is not directed at or intended to be accessible by persons resident in any Restricted Jurisdiction.

Viewing the Information you are seeking to access may be restricted under securities laws in certain jurisdictions. All persons resident outside of the United Kingdom (the “UK”) who wish to view the Information contained in this Microsite must first satisfy themselves that they are not subject to any local requirements which prohibit or restrict them from doing so and should inform themselves about, and observe, any legal or regulatory requirements applicable in their jurisdiction.

YOU SHOULD NOT DOWNLOAD, MAIL, FORWARD, DISTRIBUTE, SEND OR SHARE THE INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS CONTAINED ON THIS MICROSITE TO ANY PERSON. IN PARTICULAR, YOU SHOULD NOT MAIL, FORWARD, DISTRIBUTE OR SEND THE INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS CONTAINED ON THIS MICROSITE TO ANY RESTRICTED JURISDICTION.

This Microsite contains Information that has been prepared for the purposes of complying with the laws of England and Wales and the Code and the Information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this Information had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction outside of England and Wales.

Additional US information

The Offer relates to the securities of a UK company and is subject to UK procedural and disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States (the “US”). Any financial statements or other financial information included in this Microsite may have been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US. It may be difficult for US holders of shares to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the US federal securities laws in connection with the Offer, since Waterland is located in a country other than the US, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the US. US holders of shares may not be able to sue Waterland or its respective officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel Waterland and its respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction or judgment of a US court.

You should be aware that Waterland may purchase or arrange to purchase Gamma shares otherwise than under any offer or scheme related to the Offer, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Microsite and the Information contained in it may contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Waterland and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings (the “Waterland Subsidiaries”) and Gamma and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings (the “Gamma Subsidiaries”) following the implementation of the Offer.
All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Waterland and the Waterland Subsidiaries (and/or, as relevant, Gamma and the Gamma Subsidiaries) to market risks and statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions, including as to future potential cost savings, synergies, earnings, cash flow, return on capital employed, production and prospects. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “goals”, “intend”, “may”, “objectives”, “outlook”, “plan”, “probably”, “project”, “risks”, “seek”, “should”, “target”, “will” and similar terms and phrases.

There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Waterland and the Waterland Subsidiaries (and/or, as relevant, Gamma and the Gamma Subsidiaries) and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Microsite. These factors include, but are not limited to (a) currency fluctuations; (b) loss of market share and industry competition; (c) environmental and physical risks; (d) legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change; (e) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (f) political risks; (g) changes in trading conditions; and (h) changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets.

Each forward-looking statement speaks only as at the specified date of the relevant document within which the statement is contained. None of Waterland, the Waterland Subsidiaries, Gamma or the Gamma Subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this Microsite.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement contained or referred to in this Microsite is intended to be a profit forecast for any period and no statement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share will necessarily be greater or lesser than those for the relevant preceding financial periods for Waterland or Gamma as appropriate.
