Scrip dividend
SJP plc also announces that pursuant to the scrip dividend mandate scheme, which
was renewed at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 April 2008, the scrip
dividend alternative in respect of the final dividend for the year ended 31
December 2007 was accepted in respect of 79,999,845 shares, representing
approximately 16.8% of SJP plc's issued share capital on the dividend record
date of 7 March 2008. Application will shortly be made to the UK Listing
Authority and the London Stock Exchange for 810,149 additional ordinary shares
of 15p each to be admitted to the Official List and to trading. It is expected
that such listing will become effective and that dealings in the additional
shares will commence on 14 May 2008. The above shares will rank pari passu in
all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares in SJP plc.
