Notes:

*Votes 'withheld' are not votes under English law and so have not been included in the calculation of whether a resolution is carried.  Percentages have been rounded to two decimal places.

**** Shareholders will note that the number of votes recorded as being 'withheld' on Resolution 1 is very high compared to other Resolutions (and indeed compared to previous AGMs) - this seemingly anomalous result became apparent only yesterday and, upon prompt investigation of the matter with its Registrar, the Company has discovered that there were potential software (or other types of operational) faults in respect of certain nominee voting procedures, which resulted, the Company understands, in shareholders being unable to vote for this resolution.  These faults could not be corrected in time for the AGM and therefore the Company has concluded that the prudent approach is to record those votes as 'withheld'.

** Special resolution.
