As part of the adoption of FRS 102, the Company and group subsidiaries intend to take advantage of the \"Reduced Disclosure Framework\" available within FRS 102.\nThe Company's decision to adopt FRS 102 for its Company financial statements and those of its subsidiaries does not require shareholder approval. However, due to the election to take certain disclosure exemptions permitted under FRS 102, the Company is required to notify shareholders of this election and any shareholder or shareholders holding in aggregate 5 per cent or more of the total allotted shares in the Company may object.
