       reporting pursuant to Section 209 (1)(h) of the Companies Act 1985.

5.     These notifications of disclosable interests constitute separate
       notifications of interest in the shares and are combined solely for 
       the purposes of clarity. Nothing herein should be taken to indicate 
       that Fidelity International Limited and its direct and indirect 
       subsidiaries, or Mr Edward C Johnson 3d act as a group or in concert in 
       respect of the disclosed interests, or that they are required to submit
