Replacement
The announcement below replaces an announcement released on 27 August 2013 under RNS number 4411M. An administrative error resulted in incorrect amounts being included in that announcement in respect of the number of options over shares in the Company which each of Messrs Allen, Atherton and Wilks continue to hold. That error has been corrected in this announcement. No other changes have been made.
