Director's shareholding - sale and purchase of Elektron shares

and Total Voting Rights

The Company was notified on 19 January 2011 that Jeremy Thorn, a non-executive director of the Company, acquired 38,000 ordinary shares in Elektron for his SIPP on 19 January 2011 at 40.6 pence per share, having sold 38,000 ordinary shares on the same day at a price of 40.5 pence per share.

As a result of these transactions, Mr Thorn's overall beneficial shareholding in the Company remains unchanged at 40,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 0.04 per cent of the total issued share capital of the Company.

Separately, the Company wishes to correct the total number of voting rights announced on 13 January 2011 under RNS 3757Z.  The correct total number of voting rights is 106,408,259 and not 107,308,259 as previously stated.

The above figure of 106,408,259 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 in their interest in, Elektron, under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
