    1. That:
  • (a) a special dividend of 16.00 pence per ordinary share be declared and payable to shareholders on the register of members of the Company at 5.00 p.m. (UK time) on 19 March 2014; and
  • (b) subject to and conditional upon the admission of the New Ordinary Shares (as defined below) to listing on the premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities becoming effective:

ii. immediately thereafter, every 8 Intermediate Ordinary Shares be consolidated into one new ordinary share of 2 2/7 pence in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares"),

provided that no member shall be entitled to a fraction of a share and any fractions of New Ordinary Shares arising out of the consolidation pursuant to this resolution will be aggregated and the Directors of the Company are authorised to sell (or appoint any other person to sell), on behalf of the relevant members, the whole number of New Ordinary Shares so arising and the net proceeds of sale will be distributed in due proportion (rounded down to the nearest penny) among those members who would otherwise have been entitled to such fractional entitlements. For the purpose of implementing the provisions of this resolution, the Directors of the Company may nominate any person to execute transfers on behalf of any person entitled to any such fractions and may generally make all arrangements and do all acts and things which appear to the Directors of the Company to be necessary or appropriate for the settlement and/or disposal of such fractional entitlements.
