The 102,245,506 B Shares which were issued on 6 May 2013 following the approval of the Return of Cash described in the Circular to shareholders dated 18 March 2013 were redeemed by the Company for 75p each on 28 June 2013 and subsequently cancelled. The 201,590,249 C Shares which were also issued on 6 May 2013 following the approval of the Return of Capital were all reclassified as Deferred Shares on 28 June 2013 following the payment of a single dividend of 75p per C Share.  The Company expects to purchase the Deferred Shares for an aggregate consideration of one penny and then cancel those shares in July 2013.

The above figure of 303,854,950 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 in their interest in the Company.
