AMENDMENT TO DIVIDEND TIMETABLE

The Board announces an amendment to the dividend timetable disclosed in the Company's 2011 Final Results published on 7 March 2012, in order to prevent the New Ordinary Shares resulting from the proposed conversion of the Existing Incentive Shares (as defined in the circular to shareholders sent today) qualifying for the proposed final dividend payment. The Board now intends to pay the final dividend of 8.4p per share (2010: 7.0p) on 14 May 2012 to those shareholders on the register on 10 April 2012, instead of 13 April 2012 as announced previously, subject to approval at the AGM on 9 May 2012.
