Total Voting Rights - Correction

The Company notes there was a minor discrepancy in the total voting rights of the Company announced on 5 January 2017. For the purposes of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company's total issued share capital comprises 212,025,000 Shares of US$0.05 each, with one voting right per Ordinary Share and 2 Management Shares of US$0.05 each, with one voting right per Management Share. There are 13,334,000 Shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 198,691,002.

The above figure of 198,691,002 Shares may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company, under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
