The Company's capital consists of 1,421,858,941 ordinary shares with voting rights. The Company holds 138,360,000 ordinary shares in Treasury.

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 1,283,498,941.

The above figure (1,283,498,941) 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 FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
