Directorate change

As announced on 15 October 2010, Mr James Ross has retired from the Board with effect from the conclusion of today’s AGM. Mr Ross retires from the Board after serving as an independent non-executive director since May 2004. He was also a member of the Nomination and Risk Committees. The Chairman thanked Mr Ross for his service and significant contribution over that time, and the Company confirms that there is no further information required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 13.51(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited

Issued capital

As at the date of the AGM, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,547,703,779 ordinary shares, which was the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against all the resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM, with the exception of Resolution 23 where the Chairman, executive directors and their associates were required by provisions of the Hong Kong listing rules to abstain from voting. There were no shares entitling the holder to attend and vote only against the resolutions at the AGM. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against a resolution. The Electoral Reform Services were appointed as the scrutineer for vote-taking at the AGM.

Document regarding Resolutions passed at the AGM on 19 May 2011

Copies of all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM on 19 May 2011 have, pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.2 of the UK Listing Rules, been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available to view at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do
