Votes 'For' and 'Against' are expressed as a percentage of votes received. A
'Vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of
the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution. Votes were cast for a total of
988,008,811 ordinary shares of 5 pence per share, representing 80.81% of the
total number of votes capable of being cast at the AGM. The Company's issued
share capital as at today's date is 1,222,699,853 ordinary shares and the
number of votes per share is one. The Company held 157,229 shares in Treasury,
which do not carry any voting rights. Resolutions 1 to 14, 18 and 19 were
proposed as Ordinary Resolutions and resolutions 15 to 17 and 20 as Special
Resolutions.
The Board is pleased that shareholders voted in favour of all of the
resolutions put to today's meeting. The Board takes seriously its
responsibility to engage with its shareholders to understand their different
perspectives and, accordingly, is aware of the views of certain investors who
voted against some of the resolutions today. The Group is committed to
continuing a constructive and open dialogue on this and all other matters with
our shareholders.
