Result of Placing and Additional Listing

10 June 2015

On 8 June 2015 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 30 March 2015 (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 61,002,179 new Ordinary Shares, subject to Admission. The Placing price per new Ordinary Share was 114.75 pence.

Applications will be made in respect of the 61,002,179 new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Placing 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 12 June 2015. 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 575,758,001 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each. With effect from 12 June 2015, the total number of issued shares with voting rights will be 575,758,001.

The above figure of 575,758,001 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.
