Notes:
1. As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 285,153,619
ordinary shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in
treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the
date of the AGM was 285,153,619.
2. The scrutineer of the voting was Link Asset Services, the Company's Share Registrar.
3. Note that a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and such
votes have not been included in the calculation of votes 'for' and
'against' each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion
to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total above.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions
which constitute special business at the AGM (being resolutions 16
and 17) will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
will shortly be available for inspection at
