The Company has also appointed Northington Partners Limited to prepare an independent adviser report under the Takeovers Code, and the Takeovers Panel has approved that appointment.

Shareholders who are considering selling their shares before then are recommended to seek their own professional advice.

In addition, the takeover notice does not apply to the listed redeemable preference shares in MCK (MCKPA). Any holders of preference shares who are considering selling those shares to CDLHH NZ through any broker facility it offers are recommended to seek their own professional advice.
