RE:

Paragraph 5.6.1 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules

- Voting Rights and Capital

In conformity with Paragraph 5.6.1 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, (the 'Company') would like to notify the market of the following:

The Company's issued capital as at consisted of 2,754,345,238 ordinary shares of each ('Ordinary Shares'), with voting rights. 238,271,610 Ordinary Shares were held in Treasury, in respect of which, voting rights were not exercised.

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company was 2,516,073,628 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
