Notes:

2. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Independent Director (as that term is defined in the proxy card accompanying the Notice) have been included in the 'For' total.

3. For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the total votes cast amounted to 163,169,412, representing 95.50 per cent of the issued share capital.

4. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.
