2. Board changes
Phillip Ameen, Joachim Faber and John Lipsky retired from the
Board at the conclusion of the AGM. For the purposes of section
430(2B) of the Companies Act 2006, they will each receive their
pro-rata entitlement to non-executive director fees for the month
of April 2018 and are not entitled to any payments for loss of
office.
3. Other
- Computershare Investor Services PLC, the Company's Share
Registrar, acted as scrutineer of the poll on all resolutions.
- Copies of the special resolutions passed at the AGM have been
submitted to the UK Listing Authority, and will shortly be
available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's National
Storage Mechanism which is located at
http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
- As at 12.01am (London time) on Thursday 19 April 2018, the
total number of issued ordinary shares of US$0.50 each entitling
the holders to attend and vote on all the resolutions at the AGM
was 20,092,674,216 which excludes 325,273,407 ordinary shares held
in treasury. A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is
therefore not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the
votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
- In accordance with Rule 13.40 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules
there were no shares entitling the holder to attend and abstain
from voting in favour of any of the resolutions. No shareholder was
required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules to abstain from
voting.

of the Company: Mark Tucker(*) , John Flint, Kathleen Casey , Laura
Cha , Henri de Castries , Lord Evans of Weardale , Irene Lee , Iain
