Re: Holding in Company



Companies Act 1985

Disclosure of Interests in Voting Shares - Change in Registered Holders



In compliance with Part IV of the above Act, as amended, I informed you that
following a change in Trustee and Custodian, the registration details for some
funds currently managed by prudential plc and Group Companies have changed from
that previously notified to you.  As a direct result, the name of the registered
holders which comprise our notifiable interest in the voting shares in your
company will now be as listed on the attached report.



Please note that the following changes have taken effect:-

CLYDESDALE BK NOMS LTD MGA

CHASE NOMINEES LTD AUST



Has been changed to:-

NORTRUST NOMINEES LIMITED A/C MEB01

NORTRUST NOMINEES LIMITED A/C MEJ01



It must be stressed that it is not a change to our notifable interest in the
voting shares of your company that has generated this notification, but merely a
change in registration details.
