Dyfrig John, Independent Non-Executive Director, retired from the board on 11 May 2016 and therefore did not seek re-election at the annual general meeting.

For all resolutions, as at 6.00pm on 10 May 2016 (the time at which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the meeting were required to have their details entered in the register of members), there were 71,373,735,357 ordinary shares in issue. 195 shareholders or persons representing shareholders attended the meeting. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per ordinary share. Votes withheld are not votes and, therefore, have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution. In accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm
