Malta. Also enclosed is a Form of Proxy to be completed by shareholders.        
However, following the completion of the transfer of the Company`s registered   
office from the United Kingdom to Malta and the consequential change to the     
Company`s ISIN from GB00B0W3NL87 to MT0000620105, holders of Depository         
Interests representing shares in the Company, being those shareholders who      
used to hold shares under the ISIN GB00B0W3NL87 in CREST but now hold

The CREST message must be received by the Company`s agent RA10 by 09h00 (BST)   
on 18 June 2012.  For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be     
the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST    
Applications Host) from which the issuer`s agent is able to retrieve the        
message.  CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those    
CREST Members who have appointed voting service provider(s) should contact      
their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) for assistance with           
instructing Capita IRG Trustees Limited via CREST.  For further information on  
CREST procedures, limitations and system timings please refer to the CREST      
Manual.  The Company may treat as invalid a direction appointment sent by       
CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the Uncertified   
Securities Regulations 2001.                                                    
Holders of Depository Interests may use a Form of Direction, instead of the     
CREST messaging facility, in order to send a written instruction to the         
Depository on how they wish their votes to be cast. A Form of Direction can be  
requested by contacting the Depository at Capita IRG Trustees Nominees

accordance with the instructions printed on it.

instruction, whether submitted through CREST or via the paper Form of           
Direction, should be received by Capita IRG Trustees Limited no later than
