Results of General Meeting

At the general meeting of the Company (the 'General Meeting') held today to consider the proposed subdivision of the Company's issued and to be issued share capital (the 'Share Subdivision'), the ordinary resolution put to the General Meeting to approve the Share Subdivision was duly passed on a show of hands. 

The proxy votes cast in respect of the resolution were as follows:

Votes for: 8,049,714

Votes against: 20,120

Votes withheld/ abstentions: 44,255

It is expected that the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the 'UKLA') will be amended to reflect the Share Subdivision with effect from 21 September 2009 (the 'Effective Date'). 

New share certificates in respect of each shareholder's holding of ordinary shares of 12.5 pence each in the capital of the Company will be sent to the holders of certificated shares as soon as practicable by the Company's registrars. Shareholders who hold their shares in uncertificated form will have their CREST accounts credited on the Effective Date.

Two certified copies of the resolution passed at the General Meeting have been forwarded to the Financial Services Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the UKLA's Document Viewing Facility situated at: 

The Financial Services Authority, 25 The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London E14 5HS. 

Notes:

• The 'Votes for' figure (above) includes those votes giving the Chairman discretion on casting the votes.
