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.
