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 25p each in issue is 36,143,690 which includes 1,562,500 ordinary shares held in treasury. Treasury shares do not carry voting rights, therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 36,143,690.
