The following replaces the announcement released on 21 December 2007 under RNS

Paragraph 3 of the additional disclosures has been amended to disclose a holding
of ordinary shares of the Company held in a Self Invested Pension Plan of which
the director is beneficiary. The Plan is managed by an unconnected third party.
The holding subsisted prior to the date of the director's appointment, although
the director was unaware of it at that date.
