At the AGM held on 18 June 2013 all resolutions were passed, including those detailed below:

·        Shareholders approved a special resolution renewing the Company's authority to make market purchases of up to 14.99% of the Company's issued share capital, being 37,388,042 ordinary shares of 25p. The Company's authority permits it to hold shares bought back "in treasury". Such treasury shares may subsequently be either sold for cash or cancelled. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in respect of the financial year ending 31 March 2014 unless previously varied, revoked or renewed.

·        Shareholders approved a special resolution granting the Company authority to allot authorised but unissued shares on a non pre-emptive basis up to £6,278,622 being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 9 May 2013. This authority permits the sale of shares out of treasury. The Directors do not intend to use these powers to re-issue shares at a discount to net asset value. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2014.
