The Company has been notified that the Trustee of the Company's HMRC Approved Employee Share Acquisition Plan ("ESAP") has purchased 9,400 ordinary shares of 20 pence each in the Company in accordance with the ESAP's rules and on behalf of all ESAP participants.

The shares were purchased on 22 October 2015 at a price of 168 pence each in respect of the six month accumulation period ended on 30 September 2015.

In this instance the share price used for the allocation of the number of shares for ESAP purposes was the price per share at the beginning of the Period (123.5 pence).
