Notes:

   1.     The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places. 
   2.     Votes "for" include discretionary votes. 

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

4. The number of ordinary shares in issue at 11.00 am on 23 July 2018 was 571,757,121 of which 3,794,743 are held in treasury. Therefore the number of ordinary shares with voting rights at 11:00am on 25 July 2018 was 567,962,378.
