* Special resolutions
** Issued Share Capital
As a result of resolution 5 not having been passed (which related to the reappoint of Jonathan Summers as a director), Mr Summers retired as a director of the Company today, upon the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Board had consulted with the Company's substantial shareholder who voted against Mr Summers' reappointment ahead of the meeting, and is aware of the reasons given for the votes against the resolution. The Board is, however, disappointed by the outcome, and wishes to thank Mr Summers for his valued contribution during his time with the Company.
The directors also consulted with the Company's substantial shareholder ahead of the meeting with regards to special resolutions numbered 10 and 11, and have been informed that their continuing policy in respect of all their investments, is to vote against any resolution to disapply pre-emption rights, irrespective of whether the proposed authority is general or limited.
