In February 2016, Mr McEwan confirmed that he intended to transfer half of his 2016 fixed share allowance to charity.  In light of this commitment, he will transfer half of his retained shares to charity when they are released over the course of the five year period.

 

2.   The Company also announces that on 10 May 2016 Mr McEwan transferred 15,350 Shares to charity for nil consideration.  The transfer is in line with the commitment Mr McEwan made in February 2015 not to benefit from his 2015 fixed share allowance.  Following the transfer to charity, Mr McEwan has relinquished all legal and beneficial rights to the Shares.
