Note:

Under the Performance Share Plan, awards are granted as a conditional
allocation, where a participant will receive free Ordinary Shares in the Company
on the vesting of an award subject to continuing employment. The vesting of an
award will depend on the Company's adjusted earnings per share ('EPS')
performance over a fixed three-year performance period starting on the first day
of the financial year in which the awards were granted.  For the purposes of
this calculation, the grant was made at a share price of £5.725.

The above information has been disclosed under DR 3.1.4R(1) and, where
applicable, in accordance with section 324 (as extended by section 328) of the
Companies Act 1985.
