   Notes: 
 
 
 
   The percentages of votes "For" and "Against" each resolution are 
expressed as a percentage of the total of (1) the votes "For" and votes 
"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 "Total votes as % 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 excluding shares held in treasury was 
573,632,756.
