Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Panel
Act, 1997, Takeover Rules 2013 (the "Takeover Rules"), if any
person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in, 1%
or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of Minco or
Dalradian, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant securities' of Minco or
Dalradian (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be
publicly disclosed by not later than 3:30 pm (Irish time) on the
'business' day following the date of the relevant transaction. This
requirement will continue until the date on which the Scheme
becomes effective or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If
two or more persons co-operate on the basis of any agreement,
either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an
'interest' in 'relevant securities' of Minco or Dalradian, they
will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of
the Takeover Rules.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Takeover Rules, all
'dealings' in 'relevant securities' of Minco by Dalradian or
'relevant securities' of Dalradian by Minco, or by any party acting
in concert with either of them, must also be disclosed by no later
than 12 noon (Irish time) on the 'business' day following the date
of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose
'relevant securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, can be found
on the website of the Irish Takeover Panel (the "Panel") at
www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.
'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has
long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes
in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated
as having an 'interest' by virtue of the ownership or control of
securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative
referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Takeover Rules,
which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any
doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a dealing
under Rule 8, please consult the Panel's website at
www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or contact the Panel on telephone number
+353 1 678 9020 or fax number +353 1 678 9289.
