This announcement replaces the earlier announcement released on 5 September 2012 at 17:00 (RNS No: 6025L17).  Due to an administrative error, that announcement incorrectly stated that the number of Subscription shares in issue as 6,865,973. The correct number of Subscription shares in issue is 6,865,972.

Save as disclosed above, all other details remain unchanged.  The full amended text is shown below.
