A copy of each of the resolutions passed at the general meeting has been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority and will be available for inspection via the National Storage Mechanism website at http://www.hemscott.com/nsm.do. These resolutions are also set out in the Notice of General Meeting contained in the combined circular and prospectus relating to the Acquisition dated 15 November 2013 (the "Prospectus"), which is available on PHP's website at www.phpgroup.co.uk.

Completion of the Acquisition is expected to occur on 3 December 2013, when PHP will issue 12,577,771 ordinary shares of 50 pence each with ISIN GB0007015521 (the "Consideration Shares") to the Sellers. It is expected that the Consideration Shares will be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and that such admission and dealings on the London Stock Exchange will commence at 8.00 a.m. on this date.

The total issued share capital of PHP following Admission will be 110,474,230 Ordinary Shares of 50 pence each. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meanings as set out in the Prospectus.
