Investor Room/ Shareholder Services/Unsolicited Telephone Calls

We are aware that a number of our shareholders have received unsolicited telephone calls offering, amongst other things, to purchase their shares.  The Company has not authorised any third party to contact you about any matters relating to your shares.  Shareholders should be wary of any unsolicited advice or offers to buy or sell shares.  In recent years there have been a number of operations by overseas based ‘brokers’ targeting UK shareholders in this manner.  If you are contacted, we suggest you follow the guidance issued by the FSA at www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/other/scams_leaflet.pdf
