The award of Bonus Shares made under the BSP in 2008 vested on 8 March 2011 and 
ordinary shares were released to the undernoted Directors / PDMRs, net of tax   
and National Insurance where appropriate, as follows. The performance condition 
relating to the Enhancement Shares was not met and hence those awards did not   
vest and have lapsed.                                                           
Accordingly, the share interests of those Directors / PDMRs have changed as     
follows;
