The Scrip Dividend Alternative was chosen in respect of 8,366,645 shares which equates to 2.41% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares). This will result in the issue of 367,959 additional shares which equates to 0.11% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) prior to issue. Application has been made for the 367,959 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company to be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission of these ordinary shares will become effective on 1 July 2013.

In accordance with DTR 5.6.1, the Company announces that following Admission of the ordinary shares of the Company referred to above, the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) will consist of 347,635,540 ordinary shares of 10 pence each with voting rights. The Company currently holds 6,693,291 ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 347,635,540. 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 FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. michael

A copy of all the resolutions passed, other than those concerning ordinary business, has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: http://www.Hemscott.com/nsm.do.
