3.   A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

4.   The Company's total ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) as at 6 November 2019 were 137,557,079. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per ordinary share held.
