Clarification re Tender Offer

The below information is being disclosed as a result of an error with the tender offer calculation. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no change to the total of 10,273,471 shares tendered.

The 11 December announcement included the following paragraph:

Results of Tender Offer

….A total of 10,014,467 Shares were validly tendered under the Basic Entitlement of the Tender Offer. This equates to approximately 9.75 per cent. of the Shares in issue as at 9 November 2017 (excluding treasury shares), and approximately 97.48 per cent. of the Shares available under the Tender Offer. Excess tenders will be satisfied to the extent of a further 259,004 Shares, representing 0.43 per cent. of the excess Shares tendered….

This paragraph should be replaced with the following paragraph:
