  (xxi) 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Chase Nominees Limited announces that J.P. Morgan Trustee 
  & Administration Services Limited has a notifiable interest 
  in 6,085,700 Ordinary shares. These shares are held 
  on behalf of participants in the JPMorgan investment 
  trust savings products. J.P. Morgan Trustee & Administration 
  Services Limited has a notifiable interest in these 
  shares because, in certain circumstances and subject 
  to certain limitations agreed with the Takeover Panel 
  to ensure compliance with the Takeover Code, JPMorgan 
  is entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to 
  the Ordinary shares if the relevant plan participants 
  do not do so. 
 
  JPMorgan is now entitled to exercise the voting rights 
  attached to these Ordinary shares, as these shares have 
  not been voted by the participants in the JPMorgan investment 
  trust savings products in respect of the Company's Annual 
  General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 26th April 2017. 
  This entitlement will cease following the conclusion 
  of the Company's 2017 Annual General Meeting.
