The option will result in the sale of an additional three million ordinary shares at €24.75 per share. It is expected to reach settlement on Friday 2 November 2012.

Following completion, current shareholders Cinven, Warburg Pincus and Dutch Cable Limited Partnership will hold 74.2 million shares in the company.
