Result of Placing and Additional Listing

21 November 2014

On 17 November 2014 the Company announced its intention to raise up to £70 million of additional capital by way of a placing of new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the Capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Placing Programme in accordance with the Prospectus published on 12 February 2014 (the "Placing"), to allow the Company to take advantage of a number of attractive immediate investment opportunities.

The Board is pleased to announce today that the Placing was significantly oversubscribed. Accordingly, the Company has raised £70 million of gross proceeds through the Placing of 62,639,821 new Ordinary Shares, subject to Admission. The placing price per new Ordinary Share was 111.75 pence.

Furthermore, the Company announces that pursuant to the scrip dividend alternative in lieu of cash for the dividend for the period from 1 July 2014 to 30 September 2014 announced on 16 October 2014, elections for a scrip dividend were received in respect of 10.5% of the Ordinary Shares in issue as at the record date of 24 October 2014.

Applications will be made in respect of the 62,639,821 new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Placing and the 787,758 new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the scrip dividend alternative in lieu of cash to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence on 25 November 2014. When issued, the new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 513,848,242 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each. With effect from 25 November 2014, the total number of issued shares with voting rights will be 513,848,242.

The above figure of 513,848,242 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 of a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
