1 Note 1: Issued Share Capital excluding treasury shares.

2 Note 2: A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution.

The Resolution has been duly passed. The change of name will be effective once Companies House has issued a certificate of incorporation on change of name (the 'Certificate'). It is expected that the Certificate will be issued later today. The Company's stock market ticker will become FRAS from 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, 17 December 2019 and its ISIN will remain unchanged.

The change of name will not affect any rights of shareholders and existing share certificates should be retained as they will remain valid and no new share certificates will be issued.

Ends.
