Dealing disclosure requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code, if any person
is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more

in any "relevant securities" of Intercytex (including by means of
an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such

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 Intercytex, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the City Code.
