Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares on 26 September 2016, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 1,456,737,660, with such number to increase further to 1,457,706,805 on 30 September 2016 following the issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the scrip dividend alternative, as detailed in the Company's announcement of yesterday. These figures may be used by shareholders in determining the denominator for the calculation by which they will establish if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
