Issue of Shares AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS 
 
The Company  announces  that on  26  June 2009  it  allotted  260,496 
ordinary shares of 25p each  to shareholders who agreed to  subscribe 
for shares  under  the terms  of  the Company's  Dividend  Investment 
Scheme.  The subscription price was  73.2p per share.  Following  the 
above allotment, there are 40,170,808 ordinary shares in issue. 
 
Application will be made at the earliest practicable opportunity  for 
these shares,  which  will rank  pari  passu with  existing  ordinary 
shares, to  be  admitted to  the  Official  List of  the  UK  Listing 
Authority and to trading  on the London  Stock Exchange's market  for 
listed securities. 
 
In conformity with the  Transparency Directive, the Company  notifies 
the market that  the capital  of the Company  consists of  40,170,808 
ordinary shares with  a nominal value  of 25p each  and 20,612,249  C 
shares with a nominal value of 75p each.  All the shares have  voting 
rights. 
 
The Company  does  not  hold  any ordinary  shares  or  C  shares  in 
treasury. 
 
Therefore, the  total  number of  voting  rights in  the  Company  is 
60,783,057 (the "Figure"). 
 
The Figure  may be  used by  a  shareholder or  other person  as  the 
denominator for the calculations by which he will determine if he  is 
required to notify  the voting  rights he  holds in  relation to  the 
Company, or  a  change  to  those  voting  rights,  under  the  FSA's 
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
