Following this issue, the Company's issued ordinary share capital consists of 136,928,071 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 136,928,071.
The above figure (136,928,071) 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 Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
