                               Regulatory Update

Northgate and NIS Acquisitions are pleased to announce that the European
Commission has cleared the Transaction under the EC Merger Regulation.

Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as in the
announcement of 21 December 2007


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% or more of any class of
"relevant securities" of Northgate, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities"
of Northgate, (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 p.m. (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or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.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
Northgate, 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 Northgate by NIS Acquisitions or Northgate, 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 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, without delay,
contact an independent financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services
and Markets Act 2000 or consult the Panel via its website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk or contact the Panel on telephone number +44 (0)20
7582 9026; Fax +44 (0)20 7638 1554.
