AGM approves share split

At the company's annual general meeting held on 20 September 2001, resolutions splitting the company's former five pence ordinary shares into ordinary shares of one pence each and deferred shares of four pence each were passed unanimously.

Each resulting 1 pence ordinary share will have the same rights, including rights of voting, to dividends and on a return of capital, as the former ordinary shares. Existing certificates for ordinary shares of 5 pence each will remain valid for the same number of new ordinary shares of 1 pence each. No certificates will be issued in respect of the new deferred shares. These shares will not be listed and will be effectively valueless.

This subdivision of the company's shares will have no effect on the net assets of the company.
