(the "company")

ISSUE OF EQUITY

The Company announces that it has allotted, by way of a tap issue in response to market demand, 2,850,000 new ordinary shares of no par value (the "New Shares") for cash, at a price of 65.00p per share, a premium to the Company's net asset value, under its placement programme.  The New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares and dealings in the New Shares are expected to commence on 11 April 2014.  Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company will have the ability to issue a further 23,393,632 ordinary shares under its placement programme.

Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 281,905,541 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury.  Accordingly, with effect from 11 April 2014, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 281,905,541 and that 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, or a change to their interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
