Transaction in Own Shares

The Company received notification on Tuesday 17th June 2008 that the Company's Employee Share Ownership Trust ('EBT') has acquired 2,750,000 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 219.4525 pence per share. 

The EBT has acquired these shares for the purpose of employee share schemes and other bonus arrangements satisfied by shares.

However, such shares are not presently being awarded by the EBT under any scheme or otherwise to any beneficiary and any future specific award to any specific executive director would be announced separately at the time of such award.

Following this transaction, the EBT is interested in 12,742,758 shares in the Company, representing approximately 1.4% of the issued share capital of the Company.
