Director/PDMR Shareholding

As part of the group's remuneration and reward framework, and in order to further align the interests of senior management with those of shareholders, the Company adopts a policy of deferral into Ordinary Shares of a proportion of bonuses above certain thresholds for staff including executive directors.  This is achieved via the grant of awards over Ordinary Shares under the Company's 2002 Executive Share Incentive Plan ("2002 ESIP").

In accordance with this policy the Company therefore announces that a share award of 132,743 Ordinary Shares was today made to Andrew Westenberger and that a share award of 132,743 Ordinary Shares was today made to Philip Howell under the 2002 ESIP.  The awards were granted for nil consideration and have an exercise price of 1 pence per share.

Subject to continued employment and the rules of the 2002 ESIP call rights will be granted in March 2014 whereupon these awards will become immediately exercisable. 

Following the awards, Andrew Westenberger and Philip Howell hold the following awards over Ordinary Shares in the Company under the ESIP:

Director	2002 ESIP
Andrew Westenberger	572,029
Philip Howell	282,743
