                including 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the United States
                Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as 'expects',
                'anticipates', 'intends' or the negative of these terms and other similar
                expressions of future performance or results and their negatives are intended to
                identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
                based upon current expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated developments
                and other factors affecting the Group. They are not historical facts, nor are they
                guarantees of future performance. Because these forward-looking statements involve
                risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual
                results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
                forward-looking statements, including, among others, competitive pricing and
                activities, consumption levels, costs, the ability to maintain and manage key
                customer relationships and supply chain sources, currency values, interest rates,
                the ability to integrate acquisitions and complete planned divestitures, physical
                risks, environmental risks, the ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters
                and resolve pending matters within current estimates, legislative, fiscal and
                regulatory developments, political, economic and social conditions in the
                geographic markets where the Group operates and new or changed priorities of the
                Boards. Further details of potential risks and uncertainties affecting the Group
                are described in the Group's filings with the London Stock Exchange, Euronext
                Amsterdam and the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual
                Report &amp; Accounts on Form 20-F. These forward-looking statements speak only as
                of the date of this announcement. Except as required by any applicable law or
                regulation, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release
                publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained
                herein to reflect any change in the Group's expectations with regard thereto or any
                change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
