Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not a vote in law and are therefore not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the "votes for" column.
The total number of ordinary shares of 5p each in issue used for the calculation was 109,114,651. The total number of voting rights was: 109,114,651. The Company's current issued share capital consists of 109,114,651 ordinary shares of 5p each. The current total number of shares in treasury is 75,000 and the current total number of voting rights in the Company is 109,039,651.
