acquired at 309.17 pence per share (41 Partnership shares for Sam
Laidlaw with a higher residual balance) and 20 Matching shares acquired
at 309.33 pence per. Both the Partnership and Matching elements are
registered in the name of the Trustee.

Nominees Limited AESOP1 (Allocated shares) to Equiniti Corporate
Nominees Limited AESOP2 (Unallocated shares). The transfer was made

Notes:
The SIP is made available to all UK employees and operates as follows:
-
Each month the Trustee uses participants' contributions (which may not
exceed £125 per participant per month) to purchase shares in the
market. These shares are called 'Partnership Shares'.
-
At the same time the Company allots to participants via the Trustee
one 'Matching Share' for every two partnership shares purchased
that month (up to a maximum of 22 matching shares per month).
-
Participants may change their monthly savings rate whenever they wish.
However, Directors and others bound by the Company's Securities
Dealing Code (the "Code") may not make such a change during a
close period or when otherwise prohibited from dealing by the Code.
