Notes:

1. Any proxy appointments which give discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total.

2. A 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

The Board is pleased that shareholders voted in favour of all resolutions. The Board and the Remuneration Committee have noted the vote on the Remuneration Report, and the different views expressed by our major shareholders in recent discussions. We will engage with shareholders and advisory groups later in the year on the Company's new Remuneration Policy which will be put to shareholders for a binding vote at the 2018 AGM.

The Company's issued share capital as at today's date is 824,005,051 ordinary shares and the number of votes per share is one.
