A copy of the resolutions put to shareholders at the AGM (concerning items other than ordinary business) has been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority and will shortly be available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism (NSM) by accessing the following link: - www.hemscott.com/nsm.do

Notes:

1. A vote 'Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.

2. There were 993,116,117 ordinary shares of 50 pence each in issue as at 23 July 2015. Every shareholder has one vote for every ordinary share held.

3. Following the passing of Resolution 18, and as described in detail in the explanatory notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting and Annual Financial Report announcement, both published on 22 June 2015, the Company today confirms that it has today entered into:

- a deed of release in favour of the Company's shareholders; and

- a deed of release in favour of past and present Directors of the

Company (being related parties of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules and which deed constitutes a smaller related party transaction under LR.11.1.10R of the Listing Rules).
