The Capital Reduction will become effective upon the registration of the Court order by the Registrar of Companies, which is expected to take place shortly.
The Company confirms that, following the Capital Reduction, the issued share capital of the Company remains at 500,226,560 ordinary shares of 5 pence each. The Company currently holds 1,300,825 ordinary shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company therefore remains 498,925,735.
