Notes:

1.     Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total.

2.     A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.

3.      Total voting rights of shares in issue: 849,103,915. Every shareholder has one vote for every ordinary share held.

The Board notes that although resolution 16 was passed with the requisite majority, 31.77% of votes received were against the resolution. This voting outcome reflects differing market practice between the UK and South Africa. As a UK premium listed company, the Board considers it appropriate to seek authorities in line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines, to allow the Company to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise. However, market practice for South African institutional shareholders is to vote on proposed allotments of shares on a case by case basis.

In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions passed at the meeting, other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
