Resolution 9, to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors of the Company until the conclusion of the Company's next AGM, was not approved. As indicated in the Annual Report dated 17 October 2012, the Board has considered whether to hold an audit tender process this financial year. Since then the Board has decided to start this process. This will enable new auditors to be appointed well in advance of the year end to 30 June 2013. The new appointment would be subject to ratification by the shareholders at the next AGM in December 2013.

Pursuant to resolution 18, which was passed, the ordinary share capital of the Company was subdivided and redesignated as follows: each existing ordinary share of 10 pence in nominal value was subdivided and redesignated as one ordinary share of 1 pence in nominal value and nine deferred shares of 1 pence each in nominal value. The Company has cancelled all of the deferred shares created by virtue of this sub-division and redesignation for nil consideration in accordance with the articles of association of the Company. Such cancellation became effective on the date of this notice.

In accordance with the Listing Rules (14.3.6R) a copy of all the resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.
