Nomura International plc ("Nomura"), which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom, is acting as financial adviser to Carlsberg and for no one else in connection with the Possible Offer and Nomura, its affiliates and its respective officers, employees, agents, representatives and/or associates will not regard any other person as their client, nor will they be responsible to anyone other than Carlsberg for providing the protections afforded to clients of Nomura nor for giving advice in relation to any matter or arrangement referred to in this Microsite. None of Nomura, its affiliates and its respective officers, employees, agents, representatives and/or associates owes or accepts any duty, liability or responsibility whatsoever (whether direct or indirect, whether in contract, in tort, under statute or otherwise) to any person who is not a client of Nomura in connection with the contents of this Microsite or any matters referred to herein.

Forward-looking statements

The information on this Microsite contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Britvic and certain plans and objectives of Britvic with respect thereto. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as 'anticipate', 'expect', 'estimate', 'intend', 'plan', 'goal', 'believe', 'hope', 'aims', 'continue', 'will', 'may', 'should', 'would', 'could' or other words of similar meaning or the negative thereof. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Britvic and/or Carlsberg in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. The factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in the information on this Microsite could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading the information on this Microsite are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of the information on this Microsite. Neither Britvic nor Carlsberg assumes any obligation to update or correct the information contained on this Microsite (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law.

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among such factors are changes in the global, political, economic, social, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or disposals.

Overseas persons

The materials found on this Microsite contain information in respect of the Possible Offer. Viewing this information may be unlawful if you are resident in a Restricted Jurisdiction. In certain jurisdictions, including Restricted Jurisdictions, only certain categories of persons may be allowed to view such materials. Any person resident outside the United Kingdom who wishes to view these materials must first satisfy themselves that they are not subject to any local requirements that prohibit or restrict them from doing so. If you are not permitted, or if you are in any doubt as to whether you are permitted, to view the information, please exit this Microsite.

Notice to US investors

The Possible Offer is subject to disclosure and procedural requirements of the United Kingdom which are different from those in the United States. In addition, the payment and settlement procedure with respect to the Possible Offer shall comply with the relevant United Kingdom rules, which differ from United States payment and settlement procedures. Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission, nor any securities commission of any state of the United States has approved the Possible Offer, passed upon the fairness of the Possible Offer or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of any information in this section of the website. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Any financial information included in certain documents contained in this Microsite has been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards, and thus 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.

It may be difficult for US holders of shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws. Holders in the United States 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 judgment.
