Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for 1,568,835 ordinary shares to be admitted to trading.

Dealings are expected to commence at 8:00 a.m. on 31 March 2017.

Immediately following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 456,388,199 ordinary shares, none of which will be held in treasury. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company on Admission will be 456,388,199. This figure may be used by shareholders and other investors as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
