                              Directors' dealings


Following the completion of the recent Open Offer (as defined in the prospectus
issued by API dated 17 December 2007) and confirmation from API's registrars, as
at the date of this announcement the Directors of API hold the following shares
in API:


Director                   Number of shares acquired    Total number of shares % of current issued share
                           as part of the Open Offer                  now held            capital of API
S B Birkenhead                                22,162                   104,162                     0.15%
M H O'Connell                                 75,820                   140,820                      0.2%
A J S Robertson                                    0                    55,228                     0.08%
A Turner                                           0                    26,741                     0.04%
A J Walker                                    54,320                    95,986                     0.13%
R C Wright                                   208,591                   373,591                     0.53%


The total shareholding by Directors has increased to 1.13% of the current issued
share capital of API compared to 0.45% immediately before the announcement of
the Open Offer.

As the result of an administrative error in the share allotment process of the
Open Offer, Mr. Wright and Mr. O'Connell were allocated, in total, 173,597
shares in excess of their entitlements. Since no practical alternative is
available to unwind this position, Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Wright have agreed to
accept the additional shares and have paid all sums properly due in settlement.
At the record date for entitlements under the Open Offer, all of Mr. Robertson's
shares in API were held in a SIPP in respect of which no entitlements were taken
up under the Open Offer. As previously announced, however, Mr. Robertson did
make a market acquisition of 32,980 shares on 28 December 2007. Mr. Turner did
not hold any shares in API at the record date for entitlements under the Open
Offer.

In conformity with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, API confirms that,
following completion of the Open Offer, there are in issue 70,126,726 ordinary
shares of 1p with voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify an interest in, or a change in an interest in, API under the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

API does not hold any shares in treasury.
