A total of 127 million new ordinary shares of 25 pence each (the "Placing
Shares") have been placed by Deutsche Bank AG London ("Deutsche Bank") with
institutions at a price of 222 pence per Placing Share. Based on the Placing
price, the gross proceeds are GBP 281.94 million. The Placing Shares being
