On 31 January 2011 40,000 shares were bought back and placed in treasury, at a price of 137.5p per share.

A second interim dividend of 3.00p per share was declared by the Board of Directors on 31 March 2011 for the year ended 31 December 2010, payable on 27 May 2011. Shares were marked ex-dividend on 6 April 2011 and the record date for the second interim dividend was 8 April 2011.

The reference price of a share under the scrip dividend option in relation to the second interim dividend was set at 140.80p on 18 April 2011. This is the average of the Company's middle market closing prices for the five consecutive dealing dates commencing on the ex-dividend date of 6 April 2011. Accordingly, a shareholder electing for the scrip dividend option rather than cash would receive 1 new share for every 46.933 shares held registered in their name at the close of business on the record date (being 8 April 2011) in respect of which they have elected for the scrip dividend option.

On 19 May 2011, 195,645 ordinary shares of 10p each ("Shares") were issued to shareholders who have elected to receive Shares instead of cash in respect of the second interim dividend for the period ended 31 December 2010. The Shares will be issued to shareholders from Shares held in treasury on 27 May 2011.
