In accordance with the Company's articles of association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held. There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes "for" include proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the AGM. Votes "withheld" are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.

In accordance with UK Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the special business resolutions (16 to 21) passed at the meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and shortly be available for inspection at its web site: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

The full text of the resolutions passed at the AGM can be found in the Notice of AGM which is available on the Company's website, in addition to a copy of this announcement detailing the AGM Results which will be available as soon as practicable, at: http://investors.equiniti.com/investors
