Transfer of Shares from the Deferred and Matching Share Scheme 2011 (DMSS)

The DMSS deferred and investment shares were purchased by the Executives in 2011 following mandatory and voluntary deferrals from annual bonus payments.

Performance against the Economic Profit target for the three year period ending in 2013 failed to meet the minimum threshold and, therefore, none of the conditional matching awards granted in 2011 have vested.

All Shares were retained by the Executives, save for the sale of sufficient Shares to settle 47% tax and National Insurance (NIC) withholding liability on the DMSS deferred awards.

This announcement is made following notifications under Disclosure Rule 3.1.2.
