* Resolution 16 was put to the Meeting as a resolution of the independent shareholders of the Company. As a result, 9,878,260 of the ordinary shares in issue were eligible to vote on this resolution, these shares not being held by the Concert Party (as defined in the Notice). The waiver of Rule 9 granted by Resolution 16 permits the Concert Party's interest in the Company's shares to increase from 29.44% to a maximum of 32.71% (in each case representing 4,121,740 ordinary shares) as a result of the share buyback authorised by Resolution 14 without requiring the Concert Party to make a mandatory offer for the other shareholders' shares. The results of the poll vote on this Resolution 16 were 2,678,134 votes for, 1,419,722 against, 4,127,696 abstentions, therefore with 65.35% in favour of the resolution.
