THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN IT IS NOT FOR RELEASE PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, JAPAN, THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE SAME WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS AN ADVERTISEMENT AND NOT A PROSPECTUS. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE OR FORM PART OF, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS, ANY OFFER FOR SALE OR SUBSCRIPTION OF, OR SOLICITATION OF ANY OFFER TO BUY OR SUBSCRIBE FOR, ANY SHARES IN O TWELVE OR SECURITIES IN ANY OTHER ENTITY, IN ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES, NOR SHALL IT, OR ANY PART OF IT, OR THE FACT OF ITS DISTRIBUTION, FORM THE BASIS OF, OR BE RELIED ON IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY CONTRACT OR INVESTMENT DECISION WHATSOEVER, IN ANY JURISDICTION. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING ANY SECURITIES.

On 5 January 2011, the Company announced that pursuant to Basic Entitlements, applications had been received in respect of 24,049,867 New Ordinary Shares resulting in 333,650,139 Excess Shares being available pursuant to the Excess Application Facility.

Qualifying Shareholders who applied for their full Basic Entitlement were entitled to apply, under the Excess Application Facility, for Excess Shares in excess of their Basic Entitlement.

The Company announces that no such applications have been received. Accordingly, on Admission, 24,049,867 New Ordinary Shares are expected to be issued to Qualifying Shareholders with a further 333,650,139 New Ordinary Shares to be issued to Westbrook Investco.

The New Issue will result in the issue of a total of 357,700,006 new ordinary shares (representing 74.49 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital). Admission is expected to occur and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares are expected to commence on 25 January 2011. Following Admission, Westbrook Investco's holding of New Ordinary Shares will represent 69.48 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital.

Westbrook Investco's underwriting commitment in relation to the Conditional Placing was conditional on, among other things, Westbrook Investco holding at least 50 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital plus one Ordinary Share. Given that Westbrook Investco will hold 69.48 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital on Admission, the Top Up Issue was not required to be effected.

All capitalised definitions in this announcement bear the same meaning as those in the Prospectus.
