The percentages of votes "For" and "Against" each resolution are
expressed as a percentage of the total of (1) the votes "For" and votes
"Against" the resolution (together the "Total Votes"). A vote withheld
is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the
proportion of votes "For" and "Against" a resolution.
The "Total votes as % of total voting rights" column shows the
percentage that the Total Votes on that resolution represent of the
total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue at the date of
the AGM. The total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue
at the date of the AGM excluding shares held in treasury was
573,632,756.
