Also on 11 April 2007, Mr Allan sold 9,000 shares of 25p each in the capital of

deferred bonus payment.

Further conditional share awards, over 34,894 and 33,058 ordinary shares of 25p
each in the capital of the Company were made respectively to Mr Tony Harris,
Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and to Mr John Tonkiss, Managing

Such awards were again made under the terms of the LTIP.

The number of shares that will unconditionally vest in Messrs Allan, Harris and
Tonkiss pursuant to the above referred to LTIP awards will be determined
following expiry of the three year measurement period attaching to those awards,
by reference to the net asset value and total shareholder return performance of
the Company over that period.

Following the above referred to LTIP awards and sale, Mr Allan is interested in
239,312 shares in the Company, representing 0.19% of its issued capital; Mr
