    Directors' responsibilities statement
    In compliance with DTR 4.1.12R, the 2019 Annual Report contains a Directors' responsibilities
    statement. This is reproduced below in line with DTR 6.3.5R. The statement relates to, and is
    extracted from the 2019 Annual Report, not the extracted information presented in this
    announcement or the
    2019 Full Year Results announcement released on 4 March 2020.

    The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with
    applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements
    for each financial year. Under that law, the Directors have elected to prepare the Group financial
    statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the
    European Union (EU). The Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
    United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards,
    comprising FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland,
    and applicable law.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

    - adopt the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to do so;
    - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently from year to year;
    - make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
    - state whether IFRS as adopted by the EU and IFRS as issued by the IASB have been followed
        for the Group financial statements and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising
        FRS 102, have been followed for the Company financial statements.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show
and explain the Company’s and the Group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy, at
any time, the financial position of the Group and the Company and to enable them to ensure that
the financial statements and the Directors’ Remuneration Report comply with the Companies Act
2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and the Company and
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial
information included on the Company’s website.

Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ
from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Declaration
Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed on pages 74 to 75 of the Annual
Report, confirm to the best of their knowledge, that:

    - the Group financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International
        Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and applicable law, and give a true and
        fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Group;
    - the Company financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United
        Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards,
        comprising FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
        Ireland”, and applicable law), give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial
        position and profit of the Company;
    - the Strategic Report and Directors’ Report include a fair review of the development and
        performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of
        the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces; and
    - as at the date of this Report, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s
        auditor is unaware. Each Director has taken all the steps he or she should have taken as a
        Director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to
        establish that the Company’s auditors are aware of that information.

The Board confirms that the Annual Report and financial statements taken as a whole are fair,
balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the
strategy, position and performance and business model of the Group.

                                               ENDS
