A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is therefore not included in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

The total number of voting rights as at 3 July 2017 were 2,189,761,991 shares of 28⁴/₇ pence.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed as special business will shortly be available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
