The waiver of Rule 9 granted by Resolution 17 permits the Concert Party's interest in the Company's shares to increase from 31.132% to a maximum of 34.591% (in each case representing 4,166,164 ordinary shares) as a result of the share buyback authorised by Resolution 15 without requiring the Concert Party to make a mandatory offer for the other shareholders' shares. The results of the poll vote on this Resolution 17 were 2,821,178 votes for, 702,794 against, therefore with 80.06% in favour of the resolution.
