The total number of Ordinary shares with voting rights (TVR) in the Company is 184,312,729 and this figure 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.

The final conversion date of the CULS was 31 January 2018.  As a result an application will be made for 14,405,297 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission").  Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 9 February 2018.
