Jardine Lloyd Thompson - Result of AGM

Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc

Annual General Meeting - 1(st) May 2015

At the Annual General Meeting of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc held on Friday, 1(st) May 2015, all the proposed resolutions were duly approved by the shareholders by way of a poll. The voting results are set out below and are also available on the company's website at www.jlt.com/investors/shareholder-circulars-agm.

Under the FCA's Listing Rules, as updated in May 2014, because Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited is classed as a "controlling shareholder" (that is, it exercises or controls, either on its own or together with any person with whom it is acting in concert, 30% or more of the voting rights in the Company) a resolution for the election and re-election of Independent Directors must be passed by a majority of votes cast by the independent shareholders of the Company (i.e. any shareholder that is not a controlling shareholder), as well as by a majority of votes cast by all the shareholders.

Accordingly the results below show the voting by all shareholders and on Resolutions 10 to 13 by the independent shareholders. The percentage of votes cast by the independent shareholders exclude the Jardine Matheson Holdings shareholding of 87,960,321 shares.

A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.
