Conversion between Share Classes

The Company today announces the conversion of a number of Sterling Shares into US Dollar Shares and US Dollar Shares into Sterling Shares (the "Conversion"). On the basis of the net asset values of the Company's shares as at 29 March 2019 (and also spot currency exchange rates as appropriate, in each case as at 29 March 2019), the conversion ratio, calculated in accordance with the Company's articles of incorporation, is as follows:

GBP to USD 1.26409496

USD to GBP 0.79107981

On the basis of the aggregate level of conversion notices received by the Company, application will be made for the admission of 1,834 Sterling Shares and 9,438 US Dollar Shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the "Official List") and the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange plc (the "Main Market"). Application will also be made for the cancellation of the listing on the Official List and the Main Market of 7,467 Sterling Shares and 2,319 US Dollar Shares. It is expected that such application will become effective and that dealing in the US Dollar Shares will commence on 10 April 2019. Accordingly, the Company's issued share capital with effect from 10 April 2019 will be as follows:

1,034,884,729   Sterling Shares (75,000,000 are held in Treasury as at 2 November 2018)

56,284,492    US Dollar Shares (1,342,627 are held in Treasury as at 2 November 2018)

Sterling Shares have 1.6 votes per share and US Dollar Shares have 1 vote per share. Following Conversion (which is expected to take place on 10 April 2019) the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 1,091,169,221. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interests in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms shall have the meaning given to them in the prospectus of the Company dated 30 September 2013.

Note: The issued share capital and total voting rights with effect from 10 April 2019 may be subject to change due to the current on-going transactions in own shares of the Company.
