On 18 May 2011 there were 68,075,281,522 relevant shares in issue and 327 shareholders or persons representing shareholders attended the meeting. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not votes and, therefore, have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
In accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do
