Mike Killoran and Jacqueline Flanigan also have a non-beneficial interest in 64,022 C Shares (being 0.3% of the issued C Shares).

It is expected that each B Share will be redeemed by the Company for 75 pence on 28 June 2013 and that the proceeds of the redemption will be sent to Shareholders or CREST accounts will be credited, by 28 June 2013. Each such B Share will be cancelled on redemption.

A single dividend of 75 pence will become payable on each C Share on 28 June 2013. Once the C Share Dividend has been paid, each C Share will be reclassified as a Deferred Share which will carry extremely limited rights and will have negligible value.  The Company expects to purchase the Deferred Shares for an aggregate consideration of one penny and then cancel the Deferred Shares in July 2013. Shareholders will not be entitled to have any part of the one penny aggregate consideration paid to them.

Capitalised terms in this announcement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them as in the Circular published by the Company on 18 March 2013 in relation to the proposed Return of Cash. The circular is available on the Company's website at www.corporate.persimmonhomes.com/investor/shareholder/gminfo/2013.aspx

As at 13 May 2013 the issued share capital of the Company was 303,842,439 ordinary shares of 10 pence each, 102,245,506 B Shares of 75 pence each and 201,590,249 C Shares of 0.0001 pence each.
