Subscription Shares - Exercise and Issue of Ordinary Shares

The Company announces that it has applied for the listing of 4,379,038 new ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and for such shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market on or around 2 September. Such applications have been made following the exercise of the rights represented by 4,379,038 Subscription Shares of 1p each to subscribe in cash for Ordinary Shares at 100p per share ("Subscription Shares") by 31 August 2014. The new Ordinary Shares, which have been allotted today, will rank equally in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Following the issue of new Ordinary Shares described above, the Company's issued share capital consists of 72,450,588 Ordinary Shares, with each share carrying the right to one vote, and 3,920,962 Subscription Shares. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 72,450,588. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation 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.

29 August 2014, being the Business Day immediately preceding 31 August 2014, was the final exercise date for the Subscription Shares and 3,920,962 Subscription Shares remain unexercised. In accordance with the terms and conditions on which the Subscription Shares were issued, the Company has appointed a final subscription trustee ("Subscription Trustee"). Provided that in the Subscription Trustee's opinion the net proceeds of sale, after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred by such Subscription Trustee, will exceed the costs of exercising the subscription rights, then the Subscription Trustee shall, within the period of 14 days following the Subscription Date (by 14 September 2014), exercise all the Subscription Rights which shall not have been exercised at 100p per share and sell in the market the Ordinary Shares resulting from such exercise. The Subscription Trustee shall distribute pro rata the proceeds of any such sale or acceptance of any such offer less, in either case, such costs of exercising the Subscription Rights and such other costs and expenses to the persons entitled thereto at the risk of such persons within 56 days of the Subscription Date, provided that entitlements of under £5.00 shall be retained for the benefit of the Company. If the Subscription Trustee does not exercise the subscription rights conferred by the outstanding Subscription Shares by 14 September 2014, and the Subscription Trustee's decision will be final and binding on all holders of outstanding Subscription Shares, they will lapse with nil value.
