Access to this section of the website (the "Micro-Site") may be restricted under securities laws in certain jurisdictions.  This notice requires you to confirm certain matters (including that you are not resident in such a jurisdiction), before you may obtain access to the information on the Micro-Site.  These materials are not directed at or accessible by persons resident in any jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant laws of that jurisdiction.

Important Information

The Micro-Site contains announcements, documents and information (the "Information") published by MEPUK relating to a recommended cash acquisition by MEPUK of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of DataCash, to be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") pursuant to Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (the "Acquisition").  The information contained in the Micro-Site is made available in good faith and for information purposes only and is subject to the terms and conditions set out below.

MEPUK reserves the right to elect (with the consent of the Takeover Panel (where necessary)) to implement the Acquisition by way of a takeover offer.  In such event, the Acquisition will be implemented on substantially the same terms, subject to appropriate amendments, as those which would apply to the Scheme.  If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a takeover offer, it will be made in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws, including US securities laws, to the extent applicable.

Neither MEPUK nor any of its advisers assumes any responsibility for any violation by any person of any of these restrictions.

Forward-looking statements

The Micro-Site, including information included or incorporated by reference in the Micro-Site, may contain "forward looking statements" concerning the wider MEPUK group and the DataCash group.  Generally, the words "will", "may", "should", "continue", "believes", "expects", "intends", "anticipates" or similar expressions identify forward looking statements.  The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by them.  Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the companies' abilities to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions and the behaviours of other market participants, and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on such statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement. The wider MEPUK group and the DataCash group assume no obligation and do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required pursuant to applicable law.
