The Company's registrar, Capita Asset Services, acted as scrutineer of the poll.

As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 870,112,016 ordinary shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 870,112,016. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

Note that a "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and have not been included in the calculation of votes "for" and "against" each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total.

The full text of the resolutions passed at the AGM can be found in the Notice of AGM which, alongside the AGM presentation, may be found on the Company's website at http://www.ruspetro.com/investors/general-meetings/.
