ISSUE OF EQUITY

The Company announces that it has allotted 7,150,000 new ordinary shares of no par value (the "New Shares") for cash, at a price of 64.25p per share, a premium to the Company's net asset value, under its placement programme. The New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares and dealings in the New Shares are expected to commence on 20 March 2014. Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company will have the ability to issue a further 35,381,542 ordinary shares under its placement programme.

Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 269,917,631 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury. Accordingly, with effect from 20 March 2014, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 269,917,631 and that 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, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
