The Board notes that Resolution 2, an Ordinary Resolution relating to the approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report, was duly passed but recognises that a significant minority of Shareholders have voted against the Resolution. It is intended that the Remuneration Committee will give this due consideration in its future deliberations

The Directors also note that Resolution 13, a Special Resolution relating to the buying back of shares, was duly passed, but once again recognise that a significant minority of Shareholders have voted against the Resolution. It is intended that the Board will consider the views expressed by Shareholders when it next seeks such an authority.

A vote withheld is not a vote in law and any such votes have not been included in the votes for or against the respective Resolutions. These proxy voting figures will also be available to view at: www.mavencp.com/migvct4.
