Notification is given that, pursuant to the authority granted at the Annual
General Meeting of the Company held on 31 October 2023 to make market
purchases of the Company's own shares of 25p, a market purchase of 189,812
ordinary shares in the capital of the Company was made today at a price
of 400.8814p per share. The shares will be held in Treasury.

Following the above purchase, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will
continue to be 502,664,868 ordinary shares of 25p each, of which 1,896,732 are
held in Treasury and have no voting rights. The number of ordinary shares to

The number of voting rights in the Company is now:

 

a)         33,384,542 in respect of the ordinary shares (one vote for
every 15 shares held);

b)         30,198 in respect of the First Preference Stock (one vote
for every £10 of stock held); and

c)         29,484 in respect of the Preferred Ordinary Stock (one vote
for every £20 of stock held).

 

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 33,444,224.

 

The above figure (33,444,224) may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
