Reclassification of Ordinary Shares

As a result of the Elections referred to above, 39,091,646 Shares will be reclassified as Shares with "A" rights and 58,637,469 Shares will be reclassified as Shares with "B" rights.

It is expected that the existing Ordinary Shares will be disabled in CREST at 7.00 a.m. on 31 March 2017.

Application will be made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange for the listing in respect of the Shares to be amended to reflect the reclassification of the Shares as Reclassified Shares. It is expected that such amendment will become effective and dealings in the Reclassified Shares will commence with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 3 April 2017.

Shares with "A" rights will trade with the ISIN GB00BD583337 and shares with "B" rights will trade with ISIN GB00BD583444. These will replace the existing Ordinary Shares (ISIN GB0005596985).

Suspension of Reclassified Shares

It is expected that the listing of the Reclassified Shares will be suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 5 April 2017. A further general meeting of the Company (the "Second General Meeting") will be held on 6 April 2017 at 11.00 a.m. at which a special resolution will be proposed for the winding-up of the Company, the appointment of liquidators and the grant of appropriate powers to the liquidators (the "Liquidation Resolution"). The Scheme will not become effective unless, inter alia, the Liquidation Resolution is passed. Shareholder entitlements pursuant to the Scheme will be announced by the Company in due course following the Second General Meeting, assuming that the Scheme becomes effective.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Circular to Shareholders dated 6 March 2017.
