------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 Chase Nominees Limited announces that J.P. Morgan Trustee & Administration 
  Services Limited has a notifiable interest in 4,679,211 Ordinary shares. 
  These shares are held on behalf of participants in the JPMorgan investment 
  trust savings products. J.P. Morgan Trustee & Administration Services 
  Limited has a notifiable interest in these shares because, in certain 
  circumstances and subject to certain limitations agreed with the Takeover 
  Panel to ensure compliance with the Takeover Code, JPMorgan is entitled 
  to exercise the voting rights attached to the Ordinary shares if the 
  relevant plan participants do not do so. 
 
  JPMorgan is now entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to these 
  Ordinary shares, as these shares have not been voted by the participants 
  in the JPMorgan investment trust savings products in respect of the Company's 
  2014 Annual General Meeting to be held on Friday 19th December 2014. 
  This entitlement will cease following the conclusion of the Company's 
  2014 Annual General Meeting.
