The vesting of the deferred bonus awards are to be satisfied by ordinary shares held by the Brooks Macdonald Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT"). The Trustees of the EBT make periodic share purchases as they deem appropriate and, as at the current date, hold 225,703 Shares, representing approximately 1.62% of the issued share capital of the Company.
