Notes:

·      * All percentages are rounded to three decimal places.

·      Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" column.

·      A vote "withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the "total votes for" or "total votes against" the resolution.

·      The issued share capital figure used to calculate the total votes cast as a percentage of issued share capital voted is 1,425,847,522.
