Share price information and basis of conversion

The closing prices for the Company's Ordinary Shares and Subscription Shares, taken from the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange on the first dealing day in each of the six months prior to the date of this announcement and on the latest practicable date prior to the date of this announcement, were as follows:

	Price per Ordinary Share (pence)	Price per Subscription Share (pence)
1 October 2010	83.50	15.25

Each Subscription Share entitles its holder to subscribe for one Ordinary Share at a price of 100p per Ordinary Share. Subscription Share rights attached to a Subscription Share are capable of being exercised on one occasion only. Once the rights attached to a Subscription Share are exercised, the Subscription Share will become effectively valueless.

The Subscription Shares do not entitle holders to dividends or interest. It is not currently envisaged that any income or gains will be distributed by the Company by way of dividend.

Taxation for holders resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom

For the purposes of United Kingdom capital gains tax and corporation tax on chargeable gains, on exercise of the right in respect of any Subscription Shares to subscribe for Ordinary Shares, the Ordinary Shares issued will be treated as the same asset as the Subscription Shares in respect of which the Subscription Share Rights are exercised. The base cost of each such Ordinary Share will be the aggregate of the deemed base cost of the Subscription Share that it replaces and the Subscription Price. Further information relating to taxation can be found at Part VII of the prospectus dated 31 March 2010.

If you have any enquiries regarding the procedures described above, these should be referred, in the case of CREST sponsored members, to their CREST sponsor and, in the case of other members including CREST sponsors, to the Receiving Agent, at Capita Registrars, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, United Kingdom.
