Confirmation of Initial Cash Return

The Company published a circular on 28 November 2014 (the 'Circular') setting out details of a proposed Initial Cash Return by way of a B Share Scheme and stated that the Initial Cash Return was expected to amount to 49.25 pence per Ordinary Share. Since the Company was responsible for claims pursuant to the Disposal Agreement for periods of up to 60 days from Completion, the Circular stated that the Company would today confirm to Shareholders the amount of the Initial Cash Return. Since no claims in relation to the Disposal Agreement have been received, the Board of the Company is pleased to announce that the amount of the Initial Cash Return to Shareholders will be 49.25 pence per Ordinary Share, as set out in the Circular.

As announced on 22 December 2014, the Initial Cash Return by way of a B Share Scheme was approved by Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting and accordingly it is expected that the B Shares will be issued to Shareholders and the Initial Cash Return will be completed by 16 January 2015. The expected timetable of events, as previously announced, is set out below.
