The purchases form part of the
Company's market equivalent of $250 million (being £197.34 million
as at 1 December 2023) share buyback announced on 4 December 2023,
which is the initial stage of the Company's $500 million share
buyback announced on 20 November 2023 to be completed in 2024
subject to M&A activity.

Following the above purchases, the
Company holds 80,906,600 Ordinary Shares in treasury and has
1,704,497,377 Ordinary Shares in issue. Therefore, the total number
of voting rights in the Company is 1,704,497,377 Ordinary Shares
and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for
the calculations by which they will determine if they are required

and Transparency Rules.
