Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement released earlier today confirming the
disposal of shares by GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”). For the sake of clarity it is confirmed that GSK
has disposed of all of its shares in Aspen (28.2 million ordinary shares or 6.2% of the Company’s
issued share capital) and that the reference to “half of its remaining shareholding” in the first
paragraph of this announcement was incorrect.
