Voting Rights and Issued Share Capital

In conformity with the Transparency Directive's transitional provision 6 we
would like to notify the market of the following:

The Company's issued share capital consists of 1,295,403,518 ordinary shares
with voting rights. The Company holds no shares in treasury.

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 1,295,403,518.

The above figure, (1,295,403,518) may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are

Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
