Share Consolidation and Admission of New Ordinary Shares
The Share Consolidation by which every 21 Existing Ordinary
Shares of 1(1) /(30) pence each will be subdivided and consolidated
into 20 New Ordinary Shares of 1(17) /(200) pence each will take
effect from 8.00 a.m. (London time) today (or as soon as
practicable thereafter).
Shareholders will own the same proportion of the Company as they
did prior to the Share Consolidation, so far as possible. Although
the New Ordinary Shares will have a different nominal value, they
will carry the same rights as currently attach to Existing Ordinary
Shares under the Company's articles of association.
Share certificates in respect of the Existing Ordinary Shares
are no longer valid and it is expected that new share certificates
in respect of the New Ordinary Shares will be dispatched on 25
April 2019 to shareholders who hold their shares in certificated
form. Shareholders who held their Existing Ordinary Shares in CREST
will have the New Ordinary Shares to which they are entitled
automatically credited to their CREST accounts at approximately
8.00 a.m. (London time) today (or as soon as practicable
thereafter).
Trading in the New Ordinary Shares will be under ISIN
GB00BGBN7C04.
Total Voting Rights
As at close of business on 12 April 2019, the Company's issued
share capital consisted of 467,021,646 Existing Ordinary Shares,
all of which had voting rights. The Company does not hold any
shares in treasury. Following the Share Consolidation, the
Company's issued share capital will consist of 444,782,520 New
Ordinary Shares of 1(17) /(200) pence each, all of which will have
voting rights. This figure of 444,782,520 may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a
change to their interest in, New Ordinary Shares under the FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

the Shareholder Helpline on 0370 707 1042. Calls to this number are
