The Company confirms that it has posted to shareholders notice of a further resolution to be proposed at its Annual General Meeting to be held at midday on 31 March 2011 at The Cumberland Hotel, Great Cumberland Place, London, W1A 4RF. The additional resolution relates to the payment of a final dividend for 2010 as referred to in the announcement of our results for 2010 dated 8 February 2011. This resolution was not included in the original notice of the meeting posted to shareholders on 28 February 2011. The other business to be conducted at the meeting and the date and time of the meeting remain unchanged.

A new form of proxy is being issued in place of the form of proxy which shareholders received with the original notice of Annual General Meeting. This original form of proxy should be discarded and not used. If a shareholder has already submitted an original form of proxy or submitted a proxy electronically (including through CREST) they will need to resubmit a new form of proxy or resubmit their instructions electronically as the original form or submission will be discarded. Further details are included in the form of notice and the new form of proxy.

A copy of the notice and new form of proxy referred to above have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism.
