Valid applications were received under the Enhanced Share Buyback in respect of 8,326,006 Ordinary Shares.  Under the terms of the Enhanced Share Buyback a maximum of 9,000,000 Ordinary Shares could be repurchased by the Company and so all applications received have been accepted in full on the terms set out in the Circular.

The purchase price for new Ordinary Shares was 65.27p per Ordinary Share and participating Shareholders received 969 new Ordinary Shares for every 1,000 Ordinary Shares sold under the Enhanced Share Buyback, including the 2% rebate of the amount subscribed with proceeds from the Tender Offer. A total of 8,068,056 new Ordinary Shares have been allotted and issued pursuant to the Enhanced Share Buyback.

Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company under the Enhanced Share Buyback will be cancelled. Applications will shortly be made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange for the 8,068,056 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities.
