European Motor Hldgs PLC 15 December 2006 15 DECEMBER 2006 EUROPEAN MOTOR HOLDINGS PLC ("EMH") Rule 8 ftn 6 (b) In accordance with note 6(b) to Rule 8 of the Takeover Code, EMH announced on 11 December 2006 that the standstill arrangement entered into with one of its shareholders, UBS AG, in anticipation of its strategic review which was announced on 18 October 2006, had been extended to 31 January 2007. EMH announces that on 15 December 2006, EMH agreed to release UBS AG from such standstill arrangement. This announcement is required by Rule 8 of the Takeover Code. Dealing Disclosure Requirements Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the "Code"), if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of EMH, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company, (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the "offer period" ends, or is declared unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer" period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of EMH, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of EMH by EMH or by any of its "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London 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, and the number of such securities in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. "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 Code, 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, you should consult the Panel.
