78,712,078 Ordinary Shares were validly tendered and, following application of the scale-back mechanism (as set out in the Circular), 41,958,041 Ordinary Shares will be purchased at a price per Ordinary Share of 715 pence, for a total cost of GBP299,999,993.15.

As set out in the Circular, the Ordinary Shares will be purchased by J. P. Morgan Cazenove pursuant to the Tender Offer and the Company will buy-back such Ordinary Shares from J.P. Morgan Cazenove. The Company intends to cancel such Ordinary Shares, reducing its total issued share capital from 107,403,041 Ordinary Shares to 65,445,000 Ordinary Shares.
