Wellington Management Company, LLP ('Wellington Management'), is registered as
an investment adviser with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
and acts as discretionary investment manager on behalf of various separate
accounts ('Accounts') that hold an interest in shares of the Company.
Wellington Management's interest in the shares is as an investment manager.  The
Accounts do not act as a group nor do they act in concert with respect to the
interests in shares.  Wellington Management acquired the interests in shares for
the Accounts in its capacity as discretionary investment manager to, and solely
for the benefit of, the Accounts, and the interests were acquired solely for
investment purposes.  The shares are registered in the name of the Accounts or
the Accounts' custodians or nominees according to their respective holdings.



Wellington Management ceases to have an interest, within the meaning of Section
67 (1) and 77 (4) (B) of the Companies Act 1990 ('the Act').  Wellington
Management currently holds 3,078,049 ordinary shares and 6,774,794 ADR shares.
On a converted basis, this represents the equivalent 36,952,019 ordinary shares,
or 4.90% of the shares outstanding, of the Company.



The notice is given in fulfilment of, and for the express purpose of discharging
the obligations imposed on us by, Sections 67 (1) and 77 (4) (B)of the Act and
arising out of the circumstances referred to in the paragraph 1.
