                                            and Transparency Rules ("the Rules"), 
                                            the Company would like to notify the 
                                            market that the Company's issued share 
                                            capital consisted of the following 
                                            as at 17 April 2014: 
                                            - 42,630,327 ordinary shares; and 
                                            - 29,200,000 C shares. 
                                            The ordinary shares and the C shares 
                                            carry the right to 1 voting right 
                                            per share as if the C shares and the 
                                            ordinary shares were a single class. 
                                            Therefore, holders of ordinary shares 
                                            and/or C shares should use 71,830,327 
                                            as the denominator for the calculations 
                                            by which they will determine if they 
                                            are required to notify their interest 
                                            in, or a change to their interest 
                                            in the Company under the Rules.
