SUBSCRIPTION SHARES - Notice of suspension

29 January 2014

On 20 December 2013, the Company notified holders of the Company's subscription shares (the "Subscription Shares") that the final period during which they are entitled to subscribe for Ordinary Shares ends on 31 January 2014 (the "Final Subscription Date").

To the extent that holders of Subscription Shares have not elected to exercise their Subscription Share rights by the Final Subscription Date, a trustee will be appointed over the outstanding Subscription Shares.  In accordance with the Subscription Share terms, the trustee will have to decide whether or not to exercise the outstanding Subscription Share rights within 14 days following the Final Subscription Date, such period expiring at close of business on 14 February 2014.

The Company has now requested that the UK Listing Authority suspend the listing of the Subscription Shares from 7.30 am on Monday, 3 February 2014, following the passing of the Final Subscription Date, with the listing of the Subscription Shares to be cancelled in due course.
