uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations,
financial condition, liquidity and dividend policy and the
development of the industries in which the Company's businesses
operate to differ materially from the impression created by the

future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such

undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements
contained herein to reflect actual results or any change in the
assumptions, conditions or circumstances on which any such
statements are based unless required to do so by the Financial
Conduct Authority, the London Stock Exchange or applicable
law.
