BT BUYS LYNX TECHNOLOGY
Purchase of a second leading UK IT company
BT announced today it has acquired Lynx Technology, one of the UK's foremost
suppliers of IT services.
The acquisition of Lynx Technology follows the purchase of Basilica

outsourcing. It is a Microsoft, Cisco, Symantec and Surf Control Gold Partner,

Bill Murphy, managing director of BT Business, said: "Lynx Technology is a
very impressive IT services business, with a proven track record of
understanding and meeting the needs of SMEs. Their expertise complements that of
Basilica Computing and combined with our existing operation will enable us to
give our customers genuinely converged communication and IT solutions.
"Small and medium sized companies need to focus on their core business. Our
customers tell us they want to concentrate on 'doing what they do best'. We make
that possible by taking care of their entire communications and IT; linking
their customers, suppliers and partners and enabling communication,
collaboration and commerce."
Paul Edgeley, managing director, Lynx Technology, said: "This is a very
exciting time for everyone at Lynx Technology. We're delighted with the
opportunities this transaction will deliver to the strong platform that we have
developed. And we're confident that this will prove to be extremely beneficial
for our customers, employees and our business partners."

offer to acquire 68.6% of Net2S SA's outstanding issued share capital (the
"Block") from four controlling founding shareholders at a price of EUR5.27 per
share (the "Acquisition"). This offer values the entire outstanding Net2S SA
issued share capital at approximately EUR68.5 million.
As consideration, BT will issue shares in exchange for 5,566,022 shares
representing 42.9% of Net2S SA's issued share capital held by three founding
shareholders. The remaining 3,341,244 Net2S SA shares of the Block will be
acquired for cash. In addition, it is proposed that before closing of the

shareholders by way of a special dividend, equating to EUR0.385 per share.
Net2S SA provides technology consulting and engineering services for critical
business solutions to large corporate customers. The Company is headquartered in
Paris and employs approximately 800 people operating mainly in France, but also
with a presence elsewhere in Europe, USA and Morocco. For the year ended 31
December 2006, Net2S SA reported revenues of approximately EUR77 million.
The proposed acquisition is conditional upon the parties finalising their
on-going exclusive negotiations and obtaining the necessary regulatory
clearances. Both BT and Net2S SA will now commence consultation with the
representatives from the works councils. The four founding shareholders have
granted BT exclusivity until 31 December 2007 in order to finalise the
transaction.
Subject to completion of the acquisition of the Block and to approval from
France's Autorite des Marches Financiers, BT will implement a public tender
offer for the remaining issued share capital of Net2S SA at a price of EUR5.27
per share (the "Tender Offer"). The consideration for the Tender Offer will be
payable in cash.
A further announcement will be made in the coming weeks if the current
negotiations lead to an agreement.

Mr.Bernard Razaghi, Mr.Pascal Petit, Mr.Ali Pichvai and Mr.Christophe Canonne.
The actual number of BT shares to be issued to those three founding shareholders
receiving BT shares as consideration will be determined by reference to the BT
share price as at the earlier of the time of final settlement of the Tender
Offer and 30 April 2008.
