Notice is hereby given that on 31st May 2002 Semple Cochrane PLC (“the Company”) (a public company with its registered office at 14 William Street, Paisley, PA1 2NA) presented to the Court of Session in Edinburgh (“the Court”) a petition for the sanction of a scheme of arrangement dated 30th May 2002 (“the Scheme”) between the Company, the Public Ordinary Shareholders, the holders of the Bank of Scotland Ordinary Shares and the holders of the McCabe Shares (each as defined in the Scheme) and for confirmation of a reduction of capital.

Further copies of the Scheme and the Explanatory Statement may be obtained by any member of the Company from the registered office of the Company at 14 William Street, Paisley, PA1 2NA and from the offices of the Company’s legal advisers, Maclay Murray & Spens, at 10 Foster Lane, London, EC2V 6HR during normal business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) until the Scheme becomes effective or lapses.
