In conformity with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules provision 5.6.1R, Drax advises the market of the following:
That, as at 30 June 2009, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 364,852,890 ordinary shares of 11 16/29 each with voting rights (the 'Voting Rights Figure').
As at 30 June 2009 and at the time of this announcement, no shares are held in treasury by the Company.
The increase in the issued share capital and Voting Rights Figure is due to issuing new shares by way of a Placing, as described in the announcement made on 23 June 2009.
The Voting Rights Figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their voting rights interest, or a change to that interest, in the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
