Notes
1. Resolutions 14 and 18 were special business and Resolutions 16 and 18
were passed as Special Resolutions.
2. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been
included in the 'for' total.
3. The Chair was passed to the Senior Independent Director and Deputy
Chairman, Nick Hood for Resolution 2.
4. 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 a 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 it.
5. The 'vote withheld' totals indicate those members who have abstained on
a particular resolution. 'Vote withheld' is not a vote in law and has not been
counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'for' and 'against' a
resolution.
