Increase in Tap Issuance Programme
As announced on 4 August 2016, following the issue (and sale from treasury) of, in aggregate, 54,885,000 shares, resulting in the full utilisation of the Directors' general authority to issue shares granted at the Company's 2015 Annual General Meeting, the Company had exhausted its capacity to issue further shares pursuant to the Tap Issuance Programme announced on 15 July 2016. Following the renewal, at today's Annual General Meeting, of the Directors' general authority to issue shares on a non-pre-emptive basis, the Directors have increased the size of the Tap Issuance Programme to include a further 9,215,926 new shares, being the maximum number of new shares that can now be issued without the Company being required to publish a prospectus.
