Additional U.S. information

None of the securities referred to in this Microsite or the Combination have been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the fairness or merits of the Combination or adequacy or accuracy of this area of this Microsite. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

The securities of HIT (or a new holding company of HIT) which are proposed to be issued to PSC shareholders as part of the Combination (together with any shares in a new holding company of HIT that are issued pursuant to a scheme of arrangement between HIT and its members, the “Scheme”) (the “Purchaser Securities”) have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered, sold, resold or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable securities law of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. There will be no public offering of any Purchaser Securities in the United States.

Any Scheme proposed in connection with the Combination would relate to the shares of a UK company and is proposed to be made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under the laws of England and Wales. A transaction implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules of the US Exchange Act. Any Scheme proposed in connection with the Combination would be subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement, which differ from the disclosure and other requirements of the US securities laws. Financial information included in in this section of the website will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom that may not be comparable to the financial statements of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Microsite and the Information contained in it may contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of HIT and the HIT Group (being HIT and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings) and PSC and the PSC Group (being PSC and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings) following the implementation of the Combination.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of HIT and the HIT Group to market risks and statements expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions, including as to future potential cost savings, synergies, earnings, cash flow, return on capital employed, production and prospects. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "goals", "intend", "may", "objectives", "outlook", "plan", "probably", "project", "risks", "seek", "should", "target", "will" and similar terms and phrases.

There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of HIT and the HIT Group and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Microsite. Many of these factors relate to risks that are beyond HIT's and PSC's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, changes in regulatory environment and the behaviour of other market participants.

All forward-looking statements contained in this Microsite are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Each forward-looking statement speaks only as at the specified date of the relevant document within which the statement is contained. None of HIT, the HIT Group, PSC or the PSC Group undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this Microsite.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement contained or referred to in this Microsite is intended to be a profit forecast.
