    TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

    Following the issue of equity and in conformity with the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company
gives notice that its voting capital consists of:

    
 Ordinary Shares  Nominal Value        �  Ordinary Shares held in Treasury 
 93,070,150                  1p  930,701                                  *
 




    As Alba does not hold any ordinary shares in Treasury its total number of voting rights equals its capital.

    The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required
to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Alba under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
