Notes:

   --      *All percentages are rounded to three decimal places.

-- A vote "withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the "votes for" or "against" the resolution.

-- The issued share capital used to calculate the total votes cast as a percentage of issued share capital voted is 1,442,185,334.

-- A copy of the resolutions other than those resolutions comprising ordinary business passed at the AGM has been uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
