(b)    elections to receive dividends in US dollars

is 5 January 2009.

In the absence of any such elections, previous elections or deemed elections will remain in force.

Shareholders who do not elect (or have not been deemed to elect) to receive UK sourced dividends through the Income Access Share arrangements are reminded that their dividends will be Irish sourced and subject to Irish dividend withholding tax unless the Company's Registrars are in possession of a valid exemption form by 5 January 2009. Exemption forms may be submitted by fax to + 44 (0) 1903 854 289.
