NOTE: 1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman

2. It should be noted that the appointment of a proxy is not an
unequivocally precise indicator of the way that the shareholder would
have voted on a poll, it merely reflects their intention at the time
the instruction was given. Voting instructions can be changed at any
time prior to the poll being demanded and a shareholder having lodged
a proxy is still entitled to attend the meeting and having
heard/participated in the debate vote their shares themselves as they
see fit.
