Dear Shareholder

The first Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at the Cornwallis Hotel, Rectory Road, Brome, Eye, Suffolk IP23 8AJ on Thursday 4 December 2008 at 11.00 am. The formal notice of the meeting is set out on the page following this letter.
I am writing to give you details of the items of business that will be put before the meeting.
Shareholders will be asked to approve 13 resolutions. Resolutions 1 to 10 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that more than 50 per cent of the votes cast must support these resolutions. Resolutions 11 to 13 will be proposed as special resolutions. At least 75 per cent of the votes cast must support these resolutions if they are to be passed.
You should refer to the explanatory notes on the resolutions which follow the notice.
Action to be taken
You will find enclosed a proxy form for use in respect of the annual general meeting. As a member you are entitled to appoint one or more persons as proxies to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the annual general meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the company. You may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. To appoint more than one proxy, you will need to complete a separate proxy form in relation to each appointment. Additional proxy forms may be obtained by contacting the Company's registrar on 0870 707 1656 or you may photocopy the proxy form. You will need to state clearly on each proxy form the number of shares in relation to which the proxy is appointed. If you do not intend to attend the meeting in person, please complete and return this form indicating how you wish your votes to be cast on each of the resolutions. You will still be able to attend and vote at the meeting should you wish to do so.
To be effective, the proxy form must be completed in accordance with the instructions printed on it and returned as soon as possible but, in any event, so as to reach the Company's registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC of The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, by no later than 11.00 am on Tuesday 2 December 2008 (or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting).
Yours sincerely
