"Notification concerning realignment of interests in shares


1.        We hereby give notice to the Company, pursuant to the provisions of
section 198 of the Companies Act 1985 (the 'Act'), of the event referred to in
paragraph 3 below.


2.        This notice is given in fulfilment of, and for the express purpose of
discharging the obligations imposed on us and on certain investment companies
with variable capital ("ICVCs") by the said Section and arising out of the
transaction referred to in paragraph 3 below.


3.        Following the recent conversion of unit trusts to ICVCs we ceased to
be interested, within the meaning of Sections 203 and 208 of the Act, in
53,128,192 ordinary shares of 5p each in the capital of the Company.


4.        Immediately following the transaction referred to in paragraph 3
above, we no longer had a notifiable interest (within the meaning of Section 199
(2) of the Act), in the ordinary shares of 5p each in the capital of the
Company.


5.        We would further advise that immediately following the transaction
referred to in paragraph 3 above INVESCO Perpetual High Income Fund and INVESCO
Perpetual Income Fund no longer had a notifiable interest in your company.


6.        Immediately following the transaction referred to in paragraph 3 above
the ICVC named below had a notifiable interest (within the meaning of Section
199(2) of the Act) in the number of ordinary shares set out opposite their name,
the registered holders of such shares being as also indicated below:

advisor and by virtue of Section 203 of the Companies Act 1985 AMVESCAP is
deemed to have the same interests in the shares.

for the ICVCs named above."
