Approximately 57.05% of the Company's 121,747,293 shares in issue as at the date
of the meetings were voted on.

A total of 1,714 valid proxy cards for the Annual General Meeting and 1,589
valid proxy cards for the General Meeting were received. This represents
approximately 12.59% and 11.67% respectively of the total number of shareholders
as at the date of the meetings.

Please note that each share carries one vote and that a 'vote withheld' is not a
vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the
votes for and against the resolution.  Any proxy appointments which gave
discretion to the Chairman have been included in the votes for total.

Copies of the Resolutions will be submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will
shortly be available to the public for inspection at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.

Company Secretary
