(6) The proportion of "Total issued share capital instructed" for any resolution is the total of votes instructed in respect of that resolution (i.e. the total of votes "For", "Against" and "Withheld" in respect of that resolution) expressed as a percentage of the Share Capital.

(7) In relation to the re-election of directors, and as was announced on 9 December 2015, Graham Martin confirmed his retirement as an Executive Director of the Company with effect from close of business today, 28 April 2016.
