* 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
** Result of votes cast by independent shareholders.
In accordance with LR 9.6.2 of the UK Listing Authority, the Company has submitted to the National Storage Mechanism copies of all resolutions passed other than resolutions concerning ordinary business at its Annual General Meeting. This information will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
Statement by the Directors
The Board notes that resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11 were passed with the requisite majority of votes from shareholders and from independent shareholders, but acknowledges that there were a significant number of votes from independent shareholders opposing the election or re-election of the independent non-executive directors. The Board also notes that resolution 14, which simply reminds shareholders of certain pre-emption rights granted to the Company's controlling shareholder, City Developments Limited ("CDL"), under the Co-Operation Agreement between the Company and CDL, was passed as well, but that over 20% of votes were against this resolution.
In response to these voting results, the Board would like to inform the Company's shareholders that it takes their views seriously. While the directors engage with shareholders on a regular basis, the directors will seek to do so over the course of the coming weeks to understand shareholder concerns in respect of the above resolutions in particular as well as any other concerns they may have. The directors further would like to highlight that with the recent appointments of Paola Bergamaschi Broyd and Vicky Williams as directors of the Company, the Board is now comprised of six independent non-executive directors and three directors who are not considered to be independent as they are nominees of CDL. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, an update on this matter will be provided within six months of this announcement.
