Additional U.S. Information
AMP shareholders in the United States should note that the Offer relates to the shares of an English company and is proposed to be made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under, and governed by, the law of England and Wales. Neither the proxy solicitation nor the tender offer rules under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “US Exchange Act”) will apply to such scheme. Moreover the scheme will be subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement (including, without limitation, with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments), which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US proxy solicitation rules and tender offer rules. If Bidco were to elect to implement the Offer by means of a takeover offer, such takeover offer would not be extended into the United States. In addition to any such takeover offer, Bidco, certain affiliated companies and the nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in AMP outside such takeover offer before or during the period in which such takeover offer would remain open for acceptance. Such purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be made they would be made outside the United States and would comply with applicable law, including the US Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service of the UK Listing Authority and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website.
Financial information included in this Microsite has been or will be prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the UK and may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
AMP and Bidco are organised under the laws of England and Wales. All of the officers and directors of Bidco and AMP are residents of countries other than the United States. It may not be possible to sue AMP and/or Bidco in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel AMP, Bidco and/or their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and judgment of a US court.
