Following the completion on 1 June 2009 of the placing and open offer announced by the Company on 8 May 2009, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Supplemental Trust Deeds applicable to the 2012 Bonds and the 2019 Bonds (in each case, the 'Conditions'), payments of £42,159,765.92 in aggregate and £35,191,084.30 in aggregate are expected to be made to the holders of the 2012 Bonds and the holders of the 2019 Bonds, respectively, on 8 June 2009.

Following the mandatory redemption payments referred to above, for each £1,000 in principal amount of the 2012 Bonds or, as the case may be, the 2019 Bonds which was originally outstanding, approximately £835.42 of principal will remain outstanding.

In addition to the mandatory redemption payments referred to above, in accordance with the Conditions, the Company intends to make voluntary redemption payments to the Restructuring Agent (as defined in the Conditions) on or about 9 June 2009 (as part of the prepayment and/or cancellation of, in total, approximately £70 million in respect of principal and/or commitments relating to certain of the Company's debt facilities). The aggregate amount of such voluntary redemption payments to be applied in payment to the Bondholders is to be determined by the Restructuring Agent and, as soon as practicable after such determination has been made, the Company will confirm the proportionate entitlement of the Bondholders and the expected date of payment.
