Exchange Rate

1 USD = 306.40 Naira

1 USD = 0.7794 GBP

The exchange rate for the Naira amounts payable was determined by reference to the exchange rates applicable to the US dollar available on 8^th November 2019 (11^th November previously announced was a public holiday in Nigeria) and the exchange rate for Pounds Sterling amounts payable was determined by reference to the exchange rates applicable to the US dollar available on 11^th November 2019.

The closing date for Dividend currency election to the Company's Registrars is 27^th November 2019.
