The Charity will manage the allocation of the Donations to animal homes that are
members of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes ("ADCH Homes") (which include
five ADCH Homes based in the Republic of Ireland, two ADCH Homes based in the Channel
Islands and one ADCH Home based in the Isle of Man). Special donations, in the amounts
of £25,000, £20,000 and £15,000, will be awarded to the three ADCH Homes that prepare
and submit applications to the Charity which best indicate how such a donation would
allow that ADCH Home to have a significant impact on animal welfare. All ADCH Homes
(including those based in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands and the Isle
of Man) may apply for a special donation. Any remaining funds from the Donations
will be allocated to ADCH Homes in the amounts or proportions that the Charity,
in agreement with two representatives from Mars Petcare, determines but will be
not less than £100 per ADCH Home.

The Committee of Petplan Charitable Trust, made up of two Trustees, together with
two representatives from Mars Petcare, will make their recommendations to the Charity's
Board of Trustees for ratification as to the three ADCH Homes who should receive
the special donations and the level of award to other ADCH Homes applying for a
donation. Further details of the application process are available at www.pedigreeadoptiondrive.com and www.petplantrust.org.

As the Charities will cover associated costs, such as administration fees, 100%
of all Donations are guaranteed to go directly to support the Charities and help
dogs in re-homing situations.
