There were no repurchases on the London Stock Exchange, Aquis Exchange, Cboe Europe Limited (through the BXE and CXE order books) and/or Turquoise ("UK Venues").

*This represents the Company's issued ordinary share capital and total voting rights, following the cancellation of the shares which have been repurchased on the UK Venues. There are no ordinary shares held in treasury. This total voting rights figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Cancellation of the shares repurchased today on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange takes longer than those repurchased on the UK Venues and a further announcement of total voting rights will be made once those shares have been cancelled.
The Company announces that, following the purchase of these shares, the buy-back has concluded. Since the commencement of the buy-back, the Company has repurchased for cancellation 31,735,502 ordinary shares on the UK Venues at a volume weighted average price of £15.1909 per ordinary share, and 16,921,600 ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a volume weighted average price of HK$161.2887 per ordinary share, for a total consideration of approximately US$1bn.
