of resolution 10 in the Notice of AGM) were voted on by poll. Resolutions 1 to 
13 (but not resolution 10) were duly passed by the shareholders of the Company 
as ordinary resolutions. Resolutions 15 and 16 were passed as special 
resolutions but special resolutions 14 and 17 were not passed. 
 
Following the Company's announcement on 18th May 2016 that the Chairman, Iain 
Napier, was to step down following the AGM, resolution 10, proposing his 
re-election, was withdrawn.

annual general meeting, on not less than 14 clear days' notice. The Company 
will undertake a detailed review of any feedback received on these resolutions 
to ensure it fully understands the reasons behind the voting results and allow

other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, will be submitted to the
