Further to requisition of general meeting

Further to the announcement on 21 August 2013, the Board has been in continual discussions with representatives of the group who requisitioned (together the "Requisitioners") a general meeting to consider the proposed resolutions as detailed in the announcement on 2 August 2013 ("General Meeting").  One of the aims of these discussions has been to avoid the need for a General Meeting, at this time, and the associated unnecessary cost and disruption to the Company of convening two meetings, a General Meeting and then the Company's Annual General Meeting, which is expected to be held in October 2013, in short succession.

The Board has secured the written commitment from the Requisitioners that they accept the validity and logic of this view and the Company and the Requisitioners are now exploring the mechanics of rolling the business of the General Meeting into the business of the Annual General Meeting, on the understanding that an agreement will be reached on the terms upon which this will be done, by the close of business on 27 August 2013.  Failing such agreement being reached by this time, the Board will be required to send notice to shareholders to convene the General Meeting by no later than 30 August 2013.

Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
