As at the date of the AGM, the number of issued ordinary shares
of the Company was 3,119,033,863 , which was the total number of
shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against all
resolutions. There was no share entitling the holder to attend and
abstain from voting in favour of any of the resolutions as set out
in rule 13.40 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules . In accordance with
the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member has
one vote for every four shares held, therefore the total number of
voting rights was 779,758,465 . Votes withheld are not votes in law
and have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of
votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution. Proxy appointments which
gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the 'for'
total.
There were no restrictions on any shareholders casting votes on
any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM, save resolution 21.
Directors (excluding independent non-executive directors) and their
respective associates were required to abstain, and have abstained,
from resolution 21 which affected a total of 719,266 voting rights.
The scrutineer of the poll was Computershare Investor Services PLC,
the Company's Share Registrar.
Copies of resolutions put to shareholders at the AGM today will
be submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be
available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's National
Storage Mechanism, which can be accessed at
