Ordinary Shares	Nominal Value (pence)	GBP	Ordinary Shares held in Treasury

As the Company does not hold any ordinary shares in Treasury its total number of voting rights equals its capital. The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
