Notes:

1. A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

2. As the Company has a controlling shareholder, Invesco Asset Management Limited, as defined in the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules, each resolution to elect an independent director (resolutions 8, 9 & 10) have under Listing Rule 9.2.2E been approved by a majority of the votes cast by:

   --      the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and 

-- the independent shareholders of the Company, that is, all the shareholders entitled to vote on each resolution excluding the controlling shareholder.

3. As at 26 May 2015, the number of issued shares in the Company was 214,490,579 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.

The full text of the resolutions may be found in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting, copies of which are available on both the Company's website www.alliedminds.com and on the National Storage Mechanism.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, a copy of the resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
