         Result of Tender Offer, Tender Price and Total Voting Rights          

8 May 2013

Background

On 5 April 2013, the Company published a circular to Shareholders (the 
"Circular") detailing the terms and conditions of the tender offer for up to 4
per cent. (being up to 2,584,986 Shares) of its issued share capital (excluding
Shares held in treasury) (the "Tender Offer").

Results of the Tender Offer and Tender Price

The latest time for acceptance of the Tender Offer was 3.00 p.m. on Friday, 3
May. 29,762,512 Shares were validly tendered of which 2,053,223 Shares were in
respect of Basic Entitlements and 27,709,289 Shares were in respect of Excess
Tenders. As a result, all valid tenders will be satisfied in full up to the
Basic Entitlement and, following application of the scale-back mechanism (as
set out in the Circular), tenders in excess of the Basic Entitlement will be
satisfied to the extent of 1.9191 per cent. of the excess Shares tendered (each
such satisfied entitlement being rounded down to the nearest whole number of
Shares). Accordingly, 2,584,973 Shares, representing 4 per cent. of the
Company's current issued share capital, will be purchased at the Tender Price.
The Tender Price is 111.52p per Share, being a price equal to the NAV per Share
(including undistributed current period income and deducting the estimated
costs of the Tender Offer) as at close of business on 3 May 2013, less a 10 per
cent. discount (calculated in accordance with paragraph 4, Part 3 of the
Circular).

As set out in the Circular, the Shares in respect of which tenders have been
accepted will be purchased by Canaccord Genuity Limited ("Canaccord Genuity")
pursuant to the Tender Offer and the Company will buy-back such Shares from
Canaccord Genuity for cancellation.

Expected Timetable for Settlement

The expected timetable for settlement of the Tender Offer consideration is as
follows:
