Purchase of Own Securities and Total Voting Rights 

The Company announces that on 2 July 2009 it purchased 141,882 Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each at a price of 73.0 pence per share. These shares will be held in Treasury.

The Company's issued share capital now consists of 30,678,010 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. In addition, the company holds 1,192,837 shares in Treasury.

If these shares had been purchased prior to the year ended 31 March 2009 (the date of the last reported net asset value per Ordinary Share), and on the assumption that there were no other alterations, the net asset value per Ordinary Share of the Company would have remained unchanged at 85.7 pence.

The above figure 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 FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
