The appointment will be effective from 30 June 2014 and will apply in respect of the Company's half year results for the period ending 30 June 2014. The Company intends to put the appointment of EY as its auditorsto a vote of the Company's shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting.\n \nBDO LLP and BDO Limited Chartered Accountants have provided audit services to the Company for 10 years.
