Voting Rights and Capital

In conformity with Rule 5.6 of the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules:-

The total issued share capital of Smith & Nephew plc at 31 May 2016 comprises 914,699,522 Ordinary Shares of US20¢ each ("Ordinary Shares"), including 19,343,115 Ordinary Shares held in treasury.

The Company's issued share capital, with one voting right per share, therefore consists of 895,356,407 Ordinary Shares.  This is the figure which should be used by shareholders as the denominator when determining whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

These figures exclude the 250,000 Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company on 26 May 2016 and the 200,000 Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company on 31 May 2016, which are yet to settle into Treasury.
