All resolutions put to the meeting were carried.

As at the time of the meeting, the Company had 178,741,807 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in issue and as such this has been used to calculate the percentage of votes in favour or against each resolution. Each of these shares carry one vote.  The Company held no shares in treasury.
