                  Extension of Offer and level of acceptances


The board of AMT announces that, at 5.30 p.m. on 30 May 2003, being the first
closing date of the Offer, valid acceptances under the Offer had been received
in respect of a total of 39,614,788 Lombard Shares, representing approximately
73.2 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Lombard*.  Prior to
making the Offer, AMT had received irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer
in respect of 28,498,337 Lombard Shares, representing approximately 52.7 per
cent. of the issued share capital of Lombard.  Valid acceptances have been
received in respect of all the shares subject to these undertakings and are
included in the total for valid acceptances.

Accordingly, AMT now either owns**, or has received valid acceptances in respect
of a total of 39,614,788 Lombard Shares, representing approximately 73.2 per
cent. of the existing issued share capital of Lombard.

AMT announced on 27 May 2003 that all conditions to the Offer had been either
satisfied or waived and therefore the Offer had as of that date been declared
unconditional in all respects.  However, the Offer will remain open for
acceptances until further notice and at least until 3.00 p.m. on 14 June 2003.

Lombard Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer should complete and
return their Forms of Acceptance to Northern Registrars Limited by post or by

Words and expressions used in this press release shall bear the same respective
meanings as defined in the Offer Document sent to Lombard Shareholders, dated 9
May 2003, unless the context otherwise requires.
