1. As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 460,483,231 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 460,483,231.

   2.    The scrutineer of the voting was Link Asset Services, the Company's Share Registrar.
