Following a placement of shares which were admitted to the exchange on 3 May 2013, total voting rights are understood to be 519,982,722.
(In the process of making this disclosure, it has come to light that the shareholding fell below 12% on 5 April 2012, following the gift of 1m shares to the David Ross Foundation. In calculating the percentage of total voting rights at that time, the issue of 15,700,421 shares by the company on 16 January 2012 was previously overlooked.) |
