Following shareholder approval, the Disposal Assets were classified as assets held for sale and treated as a discontinued operation in the financial statements from the beginning of the year until their disposal on 31 October 2014. The consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2013 has been restated to conform to this presentation. 1
