The Company announces that it has been notified that two of its PDMRs have exercised certain share options over 5 pence ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") and have sold certain Ordinary Shares to fund the resultant personal tax liabilities arising.

Nick Taylor, Group Finance Director, has exercised share options over 142,472 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 63.12p.  Settling these share options net of the relevant option price has resulted in the transfer to him of 69,949 Ordinary Shares out of treasury. In addition to exercising these share options Nick Taylor has also sold 35,000 Ordinary Shares from his existing beneficial holding in the Group to fund tax liabilities arising from the exercise of these share options on 15 July at 125.50p.

Mark Fry, Head of Restructuring and Advisory, has also exercised share options over an aggregate of 250,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 5p.  Settling these share options net of the relevant option price has resulted in the transfer to him of 239,919 Ordinary Shares, 196,415 of these Ordinary Shares being transferred from the Group's Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") in respect of the share options exercised on 15 July and the balance of 43,504 Ordinary Shares being transferred out of treasury in respect of the share options exercised on 16 July. In addition to exercising these options Mark Fry has also sold an aggregate of 112,000 Ordinary Shares from his existing beneficial holding in the Group to fund tax liabilities arising from the exercise of these share options with 90,000 being sold on 15 July at 124.44p and 22,000 being sold on 16 July at 123.00p.

As a result of the above transactions, Mr Taylor and Mr Fry hold beneficial interests in 415,770 and 1,135,139 Ordinary Shares respectively, representing approximately 0.26% per cent and 0.71% per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

Following the above transfer of the 196,415 Ordinary Shares held in the EBT in, the balance of Ordinary Shares held in the EBT has been reduced to nil. Following the transfer of 113,453 Ordinary Shares out of treasury, the Company holds 197,929 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Consequently, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue and total voting rights is 159,532,637 (excluding treasury shares).
