The Company confirms that it has today exercised the call option in the Repurchase Agreement and has bought back 721,327 Ordinary Shares at a price of 485 pence per share.

 

The Company has since cancelled these Ordinary Shares and consequently the issued share capital of the Company is 9,377,253 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 9,377,253; 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 of interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
