As at the date of the AGM, the number of issued ordinary shares of the Company was 2,431,661,896 shares, 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 607,915,474. 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 or, for the purposes of resolution 34, the proportion of voting rights in the Company which were voted on the 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 resolutions 25 and 34. Executive directors of the Company and their associates were required to abstain from resolution 25 which affected a total of 222,570 voting rights. Those executive directors or other employees who had an interest in the proposed higher ratio of variable to fixed remuneration were not permitted to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting rights they may have had in respect of resolution 34. Such employees held a total of 564,728 voting rights. The scrutineer of the poll was Computershare Investor Services PLC, the Company's Share Registrar.

The resolutions put to shareholders at the AGM today have been 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 http://www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.
