We undertake no obligation to update this information. Information about additional selling securityholders will be contained in supplements to the prospectus.

(1)   Except as otherwise indicated, the selling securityholders listed above reported no beneficial ownership of WMS securities. Except as otherwise indicated, the selling securityholders listed above reported no material relationships with WMS within the past three years.
 
(2)   Assumes conversion of all of the holders’ notes at a conversion price of $19.78 per share of common stock. However, this conversion is subject to adjustment as described under “Description of Notes — Conversion Rights” in the prospectus. As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.
 
(3)   Calculated under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act based on 29.3 million shares of common stock outstanding as of August 18, 2003. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular holder’s notes, but none of any other holders’ notes. Assumes that holders do not beneficially own any common stock other than the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes or as noted below.
 
(4)   CIBC World Markets Corp. was the initial purchaser of the notes in June and July 2003. CIBC World Markets Corp. also owns 1,400 shares of WMS Industries Inc. common stock.

     Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some of their notes or the underlying common stock at various times, we cannot estimate the amount of the notes or underlying common stock that will be held by the selling securityholders upon the termination of any particular offering. See “Plan of Distribution” in the prospectus.
