The principal terms relating to these purchases are as follows:

  * The trustees of the Group's Employee Benefit Trust offered shares to the
    directors named above on 24 May 2007 based on the mid market closing price
    on 25 April 2007.
   
  * The payment for the shares is deferred until the shares are sold.
   
  * The directors are not able to sell the shares for a period of 4 years or
    unless there is a take-over, reconstruction or de-merger of the Group.
   
  * The directors will still be liable for the payment of the shares even if
    the market value falls below 507.25 pence per share.
   
  * The trustees have the right to re-purchase the shares from the directors at
    the lower of market value or 507.25 pence per share if the director leaves
    the Group within 4 years.
   
The Group considers that the above arrangement aligns the interests of the
directors with those of the shareholders without diluting shareholders as
option arrangements would.
