   NOTES: 
 1.         All resolutions were passed. 
 2.         Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman 
             of the AGM have been included in the "For" total for 
             the appropriate resolution. 
 3.         Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed 
             as a percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution. 
 4.         A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted 
             in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted 
             "For" or "Against" any resolution nor in the calculation 
             of the proportion of "Total issued share capital instructed" 
             for any resolution. 
 5.         The number of shares in issue at 6:00 p.m. on 26 May 
             2020 was 165,857,845 (the "Share Capital") and at that 
             time, the Company did not hold any Ordinary shares in 
             treasury. The Company holds 48,050 non-voting Deferred 
             Ordinary share of GBP1 each in treasury. 
 6.         The proportion of "Total issued share capital instructed" 
             for any resolution is the total of votes validly cast 
             for that resolution (i.e. the total votes "For" and 
             "Against" that resolution) expressed as a percentage 
             of the Share Capital. 
 7.         The full text of the resolutions passed at the AGM can 
             be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which 
             is available on the Company's website at www.tggplc.com.
