                      Annual General Meeting, 26 April 2007

At the AGM held on 26 April 2007 all ordinary resolutions were passed.
Resolution 8, to replace the existing share issuance authority with an authority
to issue up to 10% of the issued share capital, was withdrawn due to the level
of proxy votes against the resolution.  The following special resolution was
passed:
     
•    Shareholders approved a special resolution renewing the Company's authority 
     to make market purchases of up to 14.99% of the Company's issued share 
     capital, being 4,661,964 ordinary shares of 10p.  This authority will 
     expire at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2008 or on 25 October 
     2008, whichever is earlier, unless previously varied, revoked or renewed.
