For all resolutions, save for resolutions 21 and 29, as at 6.30 pm on 9 May 2017 (the time at which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the meeting were required to have their details entered in the register of members), there were 71,459,965,313 relevant shares in issue. The holders of the limited voting shares were entitled to vote on resolutions 21 and 29 but not on any of the other resolutions.  For resolutions 21 and 29, as at 6.30 pm on 9 May 2017 there were 71,540,886,364 relevant shares in issue (including the limited voting shares).

221 ordinary shareholders or persons representing ordinary shareholders attended the meeting. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of limited voting shares are entitled to one vote per share in respect of the resolutions on which they are entitled to vote.

Votes withheld are not votes and, therefore, have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution. In accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at  www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm
