SPECIAL RESOLUTION

Resolution 17

Special resolution - strategic resilience for 2035 and beyond

That in order to address our interest in the longer term success of the Company, given the recognised risks and opportunities associated with climate change, we as shareholders of the Company direct that routine annual reporting from 2017 includes further information about:

1) ongoing operational emissions management;

2) asset portfolio resilience to the International Energy Agency's (IEA's) scenarios;

3) low-carbon energy research and development (R&D) and investment strategies;

4) relevant strategic key performance indicators (KPIs) and executive incentives; and

5) public policy positions relating to climate change.

This additional ongoing annual reporting could build on the disclosures already made to CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) and/or those already made within the Company's Annual Report and Sustainable Development Report.
