Since 29 April 2024, the Company has
purchased 24,683,923 Ordinary Shares to be held in Treasury at a
cost (including dealing and associated costs) of
£3,453,512.57.
It is intended that the first 25
million Ordinary Shares purchased under the Programme will be held
in Treasury for issue in due course to the Company's Employee
Benefit Trust. To the extent permitted by law, and after the
initial 25 million Ordinary Shares are purchased, all additional
Ordinary Shares purchased under the Programme will be cancelled.
Following the above transaction,
there will be 24,683,923 Ordinary Shares in Treasury and
1,891,240,416 Ordinary
Shares in issue (excluding Treasury shares). The total voting
rights in the Company will accordingly be 1,891,240,416. 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
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
A full breakdown of the individual
trades made by Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Company as part of
