On 1 October 2013, certain of the employee recipients of the above allotments, but not including the executive directors, sold their Option Shares, amounting in aggregate to 129,574 Ordinary Shares, to the Wynnsay ESOP Trust at a price of 574 pence per share. Also on 1 October 2013, the Wynnstay ESOP Trust disposed of 135,174 Ordinary Shares at a price of 574 pence per share. Following this disposal, the Wynnstay ESOP Trust now holds Nil Ordinary Shares of the total issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by Admission.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital and total voting rights comprises 18,832,306 Ordinary Shares. No shares were held in treasury at the date of this announcement. The total current voting rights in the Company is therefore 18,832,306.

The above figure (18,832,306 Ordinary Shares) is the figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.
