   As Resolution 1 was passed with a majority of less than 80% of those 
shareholders voting, and the results in respect of other resolutions 
were similar, the Company intends to follow the UK Corporate Governance 
Code and, in the next six months, consult shareholders, particularly 
those who voted against the resolutions, so the result can be better 
understood. The Company notes that the result may not have been truly 
representative of shareholder opinion due to a low voter turnout.
