Announcement of First Interim Dividend


The Board has today declared a first interim dividend in respect of the year
ending 31 December 2008 of 4.8p net, an increase of 11.6% over the comparable
first interim dividend of 4.3p for 2007. This dividend will be payable on 14
August 2008 to Ordinary shareholders on the register on 11 July 2008,
provisional ex dividend date 9 July 2008.

In accordance with the terms of the Articles of Association of the Company the
Directors have resolved to make a corresponding bonus issue of B Ordinary
shares.  This capitalisation issue is equivalent in asset value to the first
interim dividend payable on the Ordinary shares, but excluding any tax credit
thereon. Definitive certificates in respect of the new B Ordinary shares arising
from the capitalisation will be posted on 14 August 2008 to holders of B
Ordinary shares on the register as at close of business on 9 July 2008.  Further
details of the number of new B Ordinary shares to be issued will be announced in
due course.
