Third Return of Capital

The Boards of the above Companies announce a third capital return under the Capital Return Scheme, which was approved by Shareholders at Extraordinary General Meetings held on 3 August 2007, of:

• 2.6p per 2010 ZDP;
• 2.6p per 2012 ZDP; and
• 0.3p per Ordinary Share.

This return of capital, amounting to approximately £0.5 million in aggregate, will be paid on Tuesday, 16 June 2009 to Shareholders on the registers at the close of business on Friday, 12 June 2009 (the ex-return date being Wednesday, 10 June 2009).  

In accordance with the terms of the Capital Return Scheme, the capital entitlements of the ZDPs will be adjusted on 16 June 2009 by deducting from the accrued capital entitlement per ZDP at that date (being 56.58p) the amount of the capital returned per ZDP referred to above (being 2.6p). Accordingly, on 16 June 2009 the accrued capital entitlement per ZDP will be reduced from 56.58p to 53.98p and, thereafter, the capital entitlement per ZDP will continue to accrue at the rate of 6.5 per cent. per annum, based on the reduced capital entitlement of 53.98p as at 16 June 2009.
