Overseas jurisdictions
The release, publication or distribution of this announcement and any formal documentation relating to the Proposals in, into or from jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom or the Netherlands may be restricted by law and/or regulation and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom or the Netherlands should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or the Netherlands to vote their Existing London Tunnels Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Court Meeting or the Resolutions at the General Meeting, or to execute and deliver Forms of Proxy appointing another person to vote at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located.

Additional information for investors in the United States
Shareholders in the United States should note that the Proposals relate to the shares of a Cayman Islands company and are proposed to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act which will be governed by English law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the proxy solicitation or the tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act.
Accordingly, the Proposals are subject to the procedural and disclosure requirements applicable to schemes of arrangement involving a target company incorporated in England and Wales and listed on Euronext Amsterdam, which differ from the requirements of US proxy solicitation and tender offer rules.
The receipt of consideration by a US holder for the cancellation of its Existing London Tunnels Shares pursuant to the Scheme may have tax consequences in the US and such consequences, if any, are not described herein. Each Shareholder is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Proposals applicable to it, including under applicable United States state and local, as well as overseas and other, tax laws.
This announcement does not constitute or form a part of any offer to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase, subscribe for or otherwise acquire any securities in the United States.
Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any securities commission of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States has approved the Proposals, passed judgment upon the fairness of the Proposals, or passed judgment upon the completeness, adequacy or accuracy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
Financial information relating to the Company included in this announcement has been or shall have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom 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 (US GAAP).

TLT Holdings is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Company is incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. All of the officers and directors of TLT Holdings and the Company, respectively, are residents of countries other than the Cayman Islands. In addition, all of the assets of TLT Holdings and the Company are located outside Cayman.

US Shareholders of the Company may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s jurisdiction or judgment.
