The share consolidation is due to take effect after the close of business 
today, when shareholders will automatically exchange each holding of 7 Existing 
Ordinary Shares of 5 pence each for 5 New Ordinary Shares of 7 pence each. 
Accordingly, application has been made to the UK Listing Authority and the 
Irish Stock Exchange to amend the respective Official Lists and to the London 
Stock Exchange and the Irish Stock Exchange to amend the trading line whereby 
68,657,787 ordinary shares of 7 pence each will commence trading at 8.00am on 
Thursday 24 March 2016. 
 
A fractional entitlement will arise as a result of the share consolidation 
unless a holding of Existing Ordinary Shares is exactly divisible by 7.  These 
fractional entitlements will be aggregated into whole New Ordinary Shares and 
sold in the market. The value of the fractional entitlements will be paid (net 
of expenses) as part of the return of cash payment.  Payments in respect of the 
return of cash and any fractional entitlements are expected to be despatched by 
Friday 1 April 2016. 
 
The total number of ordinary shares in issue at 6pm on Wednesday 23 March 2016 
was 96,120,902 ordinary shares of 5 pence each, with each share carrying the 
right to one vote. 
 
The Company's issued share capital that will be admitted to trading on the 
London Stock Exchange and Irish Stock Exchange's main markets as at 8.00am on 
Thursday 24 March 2016 will be 68,657,787 ordinary shares of 7 pence each, with 
each share carrying the right to one vote. 
 
The Company holds no ordinary shares in treasury. 
 
The total number of voting rights in the Company, as at 8.00am on Thursday 24 
March 2016 will be 68,657,787. 
 
The above 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, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the FCA's 
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
