*A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of
the proportion of votes for, discretionary or against the resolution.
** Resolution 13(b) was to deal with a technical correction to the Articles of
Association to deal with the allotment of treasury shares. Subsequent to the
Notice being issued it was found that the required authority was already
contained in Article 2.6(B)(ii) and that there was no need to make the
amendment. Accordingly 13(b) was not voted upon.
