The notices were in respect of a total of 10,000 ordinary shares of 12.5p each ("Ordinary Shares") at the exercise price of 12.5 pence per share. These 10,000 Ordinary Shares were admitted to trading on 13 April 2016 pursuant to an existing block listing granted to the Company by London Stock Exchange plc and will rank pari pasu with existing Ordinary Shares.

Following the issue of these Ordinary Shares, the total number of voting rights in S&U is 11,939,875, which number should be used by shareholders and other parties subject to disclosure obligations as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in or a change to their interest in the share capital of S&U under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency rules.
