Resolutions 1 to 15 were ordinary resolutions, requiring more
than 50 per cent. of shareholders' votes to be cast in favour of
the resolutions. Resolutions 16 to 18 were special resolutions,
requiring at least 75 per cent. of shareholders' votes to be cast
in favour of the resolutions.
Where shareholders appointed the Chairman of the meeting as
their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in
favour of the resolutions and their shares have been included in
the "votes for" column.
A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the percentages of votes cast for and against a
resolution.
The current issued capital of Safestore Holdings plc is 210,811,175 ordinary shares.
In accordance with LR 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed as
