The Company will purchase the above Ordinary Shares through the Broker on the London Stock Exchange (the "Purchases") and will subsequently cancel them.

Once the Ordinary Shares are cancelled, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 175,371,340. This figure may be used by shareholders of the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change to their interest, in the Company pursuant to the Disclosure and Transparency Rules (the "DTRs").
