(1) Where shareholders appointed the chairman
of the meeting as their proxy with discretion
as to voting, these votes have been cast
in favour of all resolutions.
(2) A vote 'WITHHELD' is not a vote in law
and is not counted in the calculation of
the proportion of votes 'FOR' or 'AGAINST'
a resolution.
(3) Resolution 2 is a Special Resolution
requiring a 75% majority.
The Voting results will be placed on our website
(www.cobhaminvestors.com).
As at close of business on 13 April 2017, the total number of
Existing Ordinary Shares eligible to be voted at the General
Meeting was 1,707,863,851 and the total number of Preference Shares
eligible to be voted at the General Meeting was 19,700. On a poll,
there is one vote for every GBP1 in nominal value of shares.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at

The passing of the resolutions will enable Cobham to proceed
