Share Split

Further to the authority received at the AGM, with effect from 23 July 2007, 
each of the Company's existing ordinary shares of 20p each ('Existing Ordinary 
Shares')will be sub-divided into three new ordinary shares of 6 2/3p each ('New 
Ordinary Shares'). The record date for the Share Split is the close of business 
today, 20 July 2007.

Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the 
Official list of the UKLA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange. It is 
expected that such admissions will become effective and that dealings in the New 
Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 am on 23 July 2007. Following such 
admissions the total number of New Ordinary Shares in issue will be 35,363,898, 
of which 450,000 will be held by the Company in treasury.

Where applicable, CREST accounts are expected to be credited with New Ordinary 
Shares on 23 July 2007 and replacement share certificates are expected to be 
posted to shareholders by 27 July 2007.

The New Ordinary Shares will, in all respects, rank pari passu with and, except 
for the difference in nominal value, be subject to the same rights and 
restrictions as the Existing Ordinary Shares and, in particular, the holders of 
New Ordinary Shares will have the same voting rights, the same rights to 
participate in dividends or income of the Company and the same rights on a 
liquidation of the Company as holders of Existing Ordinary Shares.

The Company will make appropriate adjustments to awards held by participants in 
the Company's share option schemes.

It is emphasised that the entitlement of shareholders to the final dividend for 
the year ended 31 March 2007 will be unaffected by the Share Split. This final 
dividend was declared on 7 June 2007 by reference to the Existing Ordinary 
Shares. Following the Share Split, all future dividends will be declared by 
reference to the New Ordinary Shares.
