                            Results of Rights Issue

Senior announces that the 1 for 5 Rights Issue of 64,960,962 New Ordinary Shares
at 42 pence per New Ordinary Share as  detailed in the Prospectus to
Shareholders dated 19 September 2006, closed for acceptance at 11.00 a.m. on 10
October  2006.

The Company received valid acceptances in respect of 62,678,871 New Ordinary
Shares, which represents an aggregate  take-up of approximately 96.49 per cent.
of the total number of New Ordinary Shares offered to Shareholders pursuant to 
the Rights Issue.

Hoare Govett has procured subscribers for the remaining 2,282,091 New Ordinary
Shares for which valid acceptances were  not received, at a price of 55 pence
per New Ordinary Share. Accordingly, sub-underwriters will not be required to 
acquire any New Ordinary Shares.

The net proceeds, after the deduction of the Rights Issue Price of 42 pence per
share and the expenses of procuring  acquirers, will, save for amounts less than
£5, be paid pro rata to those persons whose rights have lapsed in  accordance
with the terms of the Rights Issue.

It is expected that the New Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form will be
credited to CREST accounts on 11 October  2006 and that definitive share
certificates in respect of New Ordinary Shares in certificated form will be
despatched  to Shareholders by 18 October 2006.

Definitions used in the prospectus dated 19 September 2006 apply in this
announcement unless the context otherwise  requires.
