Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), acting through its Investment
Bank, which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority
and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential
Regulation Authority, is acting exclusively for Colt and no-one
else in connection with the Offer and will not be responsible to
any other person other than Colt for providing the protections

Regulation of the Offer and disclosure
Due to the existing shareholdings of Fidelity in Colt, the Offer
does not constitute a takeover offer for the purposes of the
Takeover Directive and accordingly is not a transaction that is
regulated by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers or by the
Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in
Luxembourg.
Accordingly, Colt shareholders and others dealing in shares in
Colt are not obliged to disclose any of their dealings in
accordance with Rule 8 of the Code. However, Colt shareholders and
others dealing in shares in Colt or in certain financial
instruments giving access to shares in Colt are reminded (i) that
they are required to make notifications provided for by the
Transparency Law of Luxembourg of 11 January 2008, and (ii) that
any person who reaches, exceeds or falls below the threshold of 3
per cent. and/or each 1 per cent. threshold thereafter, is required
by Colt's articles of association to notify Colt and the CSSF of
such a change.
