AGM Circular and Proxy Form - Correction to typographical error

*              *              *

GUERNSEY, 14 OCTOBER 2016

Further to the announcement on 11 October 2016 giving notice of the annual general meeting  of the Company ("AGM") and  the separate class meeting ("Separate Class Meeting") of holders of US$ Equity Shares to be held on 28 October 2016, and the posting of a circular (the "Circular") and forms of proxy containing notice of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and the Separate Class Meeting, the Company announces that, due to a clerical error, the ordering of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM set forth in Part 1 of the circular and in the white form of proxy relating to the AGM (the "AGM Proxy Form") were incorrectly stated and the Company hereby confirms that the correct ordering of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM is set forth in the notice of the AGM attached to the Circular (and detailed below in this RNS announcement).  

The Company has today dispatched updated AGM Proxy Forms to shareholders which correct this typographical error.  Shareholders should complete and return these updated AGM Proxy Forms and disregard the AGM Proxy Forms which were posted to shareholders on 11 October 2016.  Any AGM Proxy Forms which were posted on 11 October 2016 which are returned to the Company will be disregarded.  

Shareholders should note that any references in Part 1 of the Circular to the ordering of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM should be read consistent with the order of the resolutions set forth in the notice of AGM attached to the circular (and detailed below in this RNS announcement) instead of the order of the resolutions set forth in Part 1 of the Circular.

Shareholders should also note that there is nothing in the updated AGM Proxy Form that is materially different for shareholders to consider.
