Notes:
i. Where Shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with
discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the
resolution and their shares have been included within the votes
'FOR' column.
ii. A vote 'WITHHELD' is not a vote in law and therefore is
excluded from the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or
against a resolution.
iii. Prior to the meeting there were 390,683,521 ordinary shares
of 13 8/9 pence each in issue. Total ordinary shares held by
shareholders excluding controlling shareholder were

Following Admission, the Company will have a total of
