Following this exercise of option, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 186,100,851 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. In aggregate 6,801,386 Ordinary Shares held by the EBT are treated as treasury shares in the Company's consolidated balance. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 179,299,465.

The above figure of 179,299,465 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
