Directors’ remuneration report

The Group is required by the Companies Act 1985 to prepare a Directors’ remuneration report for the 52 weeks ended 1 February 2009 and put that report to a shareholder vote. A resolution to approve this report will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on 4 June 2009.

The auditor is required to report on part of the Directors’ remuneration report and to state whether in their opinion that part of the report has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. The report has therefore been divided into separate sections for unaudited and audited information.
