Following admission of the Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 4,138,978,811 ordinary shares, with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 4,138,978,811 ordinary shares.

Background: the SIP is a Government-created scheme to encourage wider share ownership and employee participation. The Company has a longstanding policy of utilising this scheme as a tax-efficient component of staff remuneration that encourages staff retention as the tax benefits are normally only available five years after grant. No other benefits are offered by the Company.
