As a result of the resolution being passed at today's General
Meeting, applications have been made (i) to the FCA for admission
of the Conditional Shares to the premium listing segment of the
Official List; and (ii) to London Stock Exchange plc for admission
of the Conditional Shares to trading on its main market for listed
securities (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission
will become effective on or before 8.00am on 15 July 2020.
The Conditional Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will
rank pari passu in all respects with each other and with the
existing Ordinary Shares of 27 2/7 pence in the capital of the
Company.
Following Admission, the total number of shares in issue in the
Company will be 456,749,631. The Company does not hold any shares
in Treasury and, therefore, following Admission, the number of
voting shares in issue in the Company will be 456,749,631. This
figure may be used by shareholders 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.
In accordance with LR 9.6.2, copies of the resolution have been
submitted to the FCA's National Storage Mechanism and will shortly
