RULE 2.10 DISCLOSURE 
 
CIG announces, in accordance with Rule 2.10 of the UK City Code on Takeovers and 
Mergers (the "Takeover Code"), that at the close of business on 19 October 2009, 
CIG had the following relevant securities (within the meaning of the Takeover 
Code) in issue: 3,005,000 ordinary shares of 50p each. The ISIN reference number 
for these securities is GB00B4XB3Y29. 
 
 
DEALING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code, if any person is, or 
becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or more of any 
class of "relevant securities" of CIG or of Centaur, 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 pm (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 becomes, 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unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which 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 CIG or of Centaur, 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 Takeover Code, all "dealings" in 
"relevant securities" of CIG or of Centaur by CIG or Centaur, or by any of their 
respective "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 Takeover Code, which can also be 
found on the Takeover 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 Takeover Panel.
