Note:
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been
included in the 'for' total.
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.
