Morgan Cazenove at a price per share (referred to as the "Strike Price") of 625 pence per Wood Group Share, for a total cost of £411.9 million. This represents approximately 12.2 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. As set out in the Circular, the Company will buy back from J.P. Morgan Cazenove the Wood Group Shares which are to be purchased by J.P. Morgan Cazenove under the Tender Offer. The Company then intends to cancel such Wood Group Shares, reducing the issued share capital from 540.8 million shares to 474.9 million shares (the "Revised Share Capital"). In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, all Wood Group Shares validly tendered will be accepted and purchased in full. It is anticipated that the proceeds payable to Wood Group Shareholders for the certificated Wood Group Shares purchased under the Tender Offer will be sent on 7 June 2011 in the form of a cheque and that CREST account holders will have their CREST accounts credited by 3 June 2011. Trusts established for the benefit of members of the Wood family and for certain charitable causes (the "Trusts") tendered 58,487,278 shares in line with their stated intention to diversify their highly concentrated position of Wood Group shares within their investment portfolios. This will result in a reduction in the holding of the Trusts from 63.5 million shares, being approximately 11.7 per cent. of the issued share capital prior to the Tender Offer, to 5.0 million shares, being approximately 1.1 per cent. of the Revised Share Capital. Sir Ian Wood, along with the other Directors, has not tendered any shares. As indicated in the Circular, the Board will seek to return the balance of the £1.05 billion of cash to Wood Group Shareholders by means of a separate B share scheme, details of which will be announced shortly. Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Circular.

"Kingman Regional is one of the most efficiently-run hospitals in the U.S., and its selection of our new InSight Denials solution is a tremendous validation of the benefits that our newly acquired solutions can bring to our longstanding clients," said Craneware CEO, Keith Neilson. "We have seen very strong interest in the InSight suite from organisations like Kingman Regional that are already very advanced in terms of revenue performance, but see the opportunity to optimise even further. Denials management in particular is an area of very keen interest today for hospitals of all sizes." The typical U.S. hospital can easily lose seven to ten percent of its revenue to denied claims that could be successfully corrected and resubmitted. Craneware's InSight Denials uncovers the root causes leading to denials, then helps hospitals identify and implement process improvements to permanently prevent specific denial types. "Craneware's proven revenue integrity solutions have been a vital component of our revenue optimisation strategy and the new denials solution promises to enhance our financial performance results even further," said Kingman Regional's Chief Financial Officer, Tim Blanchard. "Craneware's Pharmacy ChargeLink solution has already found more than $1 million in annualised lost revenue for us. InSight Denials will provide us further visibility to ensure we are applying best practices to achieve superior revenue cycle performance."

The joint venture with Persimmon is said to progressing well, securing land sales at or above book value. "In the first half of the year St. Modwen has continued to build momentum across all areas of the business," said chief executive Bill Oliver. "Our regional network of offices, skilled development and asset management teams, unique land bank and strong forward position of pre-lets and pre-sales give us continued confidence in both the results for the current financial year and our future growth," he said.
