Notes
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total.
2. A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
3. The issued share capital as at 27 August 2010 is 57,233,679 Ordinary Shares. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 57,233,679.
4. All percentages are shown to two decimal places.
