Restructuring and rationalisation charges represent the additional cost of programmes which commenced in prior periods to
right size operations and discontinue certain activities. The restructuring and rationalisation exceptional cost of £3.3m
comprises £4.2m of restructuring costs for programmes commenced in 2016, offset by un-utilised releases of £0.9m for
onerous lease contracts and the reversal of an impairment following the disposal of a North American property. 
 
Other exceptional items in the period relate to costs of £1.1m associated with the extension of a prior period legal claim,
a fair value adjustment of £1.0m related to the acquisition of Weir International, offset by a £0.5m credit following the
settlement of Delta deferred consideration and £0.8m unwind of contingent consideration liability for Weir International.

 These loss per share figures were derived by       
 dividing the net profit attributable to equity     
 holders of the Company from discontinued operations 
 by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, 
 for both basic and diluted amounts, shown in note

 Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the period attributable to 
 equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 
 period. Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to  
 equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 
 period (adjusted for the effects of dilutive share awards and shares to be issued as part of the      
 proposed KOP acquisition).

 The Weir Group PLC Scrip Dividend Scheme allows shareholders on record the opportunity to elect to    
 receive dividends in the form of new fully paid ordinary shares. In the current period participation  
 in the Scheme resulted in shares with a value of £6.4m being issued and a cash dividend of £56.7m for 
 the 2016 final dividend. In the prior year, for the 2015 final dividend, shares with a value of £29.6m 
 were issued with a cash dividend of £32.4m. For the 2016 interim dividend, shares with a value of     
 £19.1m were issued with a cash dividend of £13.4m.                                                    
 The proposed final dividend and the declared interim dividend are based on the number of shares in    
 issue, excluding treasury shares held, at the date the financial statements were approved and         
 authorised for issue. The actual dividend paid may differ due to increases or decreases in the number 
 of shares in issue between the date of approval of the financial statements and the record date for
