All shares repurchased will be cancelled.

As previously announced on 27 February 2014, the purpose of the share repurchase programme is to return surplus capital to shareholders.

The arrangement is in accordance with the UKLA Listing Rules and the Company's general authority to repurchase shares and will be discontinued in the event the Company ceases to have the necessary general authority to repurchase ordinary shares.
