custodian. The CREST custodian (or if not a CREST member, the 
custodian's CREST agent) must send a USE message to Computershare by 
close of business on 23 November 2015. As the Euro shares are only 
capable of being settled in Euroclear (Nederland), the CREST custodian 
will be required to send to Computershare a Sterling to Euro class 
conversion form including the relevant Euroclear settlement instructions 
for the new Euro shares. 
 
 
 
   The Sterling to Euro class conversion form will be sent by post to all

will be required to notify their custodian bank by completing a 
conversion request form. Shareholders must ensure that the conversion 
request reaches their custodian bank by close of business (London time)
