(1) In the announcement of January 18, 2018, it was stated that dividends
payable in sterling would be converted from U.S. dollars at the exchange rate
quoted by the Bank of England in London at 12 noon on March 1, 2018.  Because
this rate is no longer available, the corporation will use the
Bloomberg-quoted rate stated above, which is  an appropriate alternative.
