* Denotes a special resolution

Michael Dowling retired from the Board, following the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting and accordingly did not seek re-election at the meeting.

Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting have been included in the 'Votes For' total of the appropriate resolution.

A 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' any resolution.

Only shareholders on the register of members as at 5pm on 1 May 2018 were entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting. The Issued Share Capital ('ISC') as at that time and date was 176,276,977 A Ordinary Shares of 12.5 cent each and the Company did not hold any Treasury Shares on that date. Accordingly, voting rights in respect of 176,276,977 A Ordinary Shares could be exercised at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions passed (see attached pdf) at the AGM have been submitted to the Irish Stock Exchange and the UK's National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM or at the following address:
