A number of typographical corrections have been made to the 'Transaction in Own Shares' announcements released on 6, 9 and 10 March 2015 under RNS Numbers 8339G, 9543G and 0866H respectively.

For 9 March, 158,000 rather than 158,0000

For 10 March, 164,000 rather than 164,0000

The full amendments to the text are shown below; the changes are identified with an asterisk (*).
