Resolution 2
The Board notes that although resolution 2 was passed with the
necessary majority, around 30% of votes received were against this
resolution. Although disappointed by the result, the Chairman and
the Chair of the Remuneration Committee did consult fully with
shareholders over the application of the remuneration policy during
the year and are aware of the recommendation of ISS, to vote
against due to Gary Young's notice period starting two months after
the Group announced his retirement. The Remuneration Committee and
the Board will continue to respond to shareholder concerns and
engage fully with the shareholders on remuneration matters.

Notes to AGM figures:
The percentage of votes "For" and "Against" each resolution are
expressed as a percentage of the total votes cast "For" and
"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 "% 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 was 227,882,326.
