A right has been granted under the Company's Performance Share Plan to the

number of shares subject to the right will be increased to reflect the dividends
that would have accrued on vested shares had they been reinvested in shares in
the period between grant and exercise. These rights will become exercisable on
12 July 2009, subject to the achievement of performance conditions and following
an additional retention period.
