Notes

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

2.    A "vote withheld" is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "for" and "against" a resolution.

3.    Discretionary proxy votes lodged in favour of a third party have not been included in the "for", "against" or "total" figures. 

4.    At the date of the AGM the Company's issued share capital consists of 30,258,194 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. 765,098 ordinary shares are held in treasury. These shares are not taken into consideration in relation to voting. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company are 30,258,194.
