PDMRs

The Company was informed by each of the above individuals of the above transactions on 15 April 2010.

The grant of Matching Awards was linked to the number of Shares that a participant was willing to pledge to the CIP ("Investment Shares") and took two forms - guaranteed Matching Awards that are not subject to performance conditions and performance-related Matching Awards that are.

Matching Awards were granted based on a maximum matching ratio of 2:1 - two 'matching' shares for every Investment Share pledged to the CIP. Investment Shares are Shares that are owned by the participant.

Matching Awards will vest on 15 April 2013, but in the case of performance-related Matching Awards only to the extent that certain corporate performance conditions, based on earnings per share and return on invested capital, are satisfied over a three year performance period.

The notification of these Matching Awards is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Disclosure and Transparency Rule 3.1.4(1).
