FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Summary Term Sheet, Offer to Purchase and Circular, the First Notice of Extension and this Notice may contain “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to the acquisition of Sterlite Gold and the future performance of the Offeror, Vedanta and Sterlite Gold. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “seek”, “estimate”, “plan”, “forecast”, “project”, “budget”, “may”, “should” and “could”, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Offeror, Vedanta or Sterlite Gold or developments in Vedanta’s or Sterlite Gold’s respective businesses or their industries, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain material factors and assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, such as the ability of the Offeror to complete the Offer and any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction. These forward-looking statements are made by the Offeror in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors the Offeror believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Although the Offeror believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results relating to, among other things, the Offer and any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements by reason of factors such as applicable U.S. regulatory requirements not being satisfied and the Offer not being extended to Shareholders in the United States; changes in general economic conditions; the level of acceptance of the Offer by Shareholders; the risk of new and changing regulation; risks involved in the completion and integration of the acquisition; expected benefits of the acquisition not being fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; costs or difficulties related to obtaining any approvals or unanticipated approvals for completing the acquisition; legislative or regulatory changes adversely affecting the businesses in which the companies are engaged; and changes in the securities or capital markets.

Forward-looking statements in this document are based on management’s reasonable beliefs and opinions at the time the statements are made, and there should be no expectation that these forward-looking statements will be updated or supplemented as a result of changing circumstances or otherwise, and Vedanta and the Offeror disavow and disclaim any obligation to do so.
