CORRECTION TO FY2020 PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Following release of the Group's preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2020 on 23 March 2021, an error in the mathematical calculation of the weighted average number of Ordinary shares was identified.

The correct weighted average number of Ordinary shares for the 12 months ended 31 December 2020 for the Basic EPS calculation is 531,062,798, and not 521,686,254 as originally stated in the preliminary results on 23 March 2021. The correct weighted average number of Ordinary shares for the Diluted EPS calculation is 537,318,838 and not 527,924,294 as originally stated in the preliminary results announcement on 23 March 2021.

This increase in the number of shares results in a small reduction to EPS measures which are correctly stated as follows:
