Dividends in respect of shares held by the SIP are re-invested to purchase dividend shares.

Following the appropriation, Cyril Sweett Trustee Company Limited holds 9,105,186 Ordinary shares representing 13.45% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Under the SIP, Mr Dean Webster, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, purchased 312 Ordinary Shares and Mr Derek Pitcher, a Director of the Company, purchased 312 Ordinary Shares both at a price of 40.00 pence per share via contributions made on 31 July 2013.
