* A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution.
** Special resolutions requiring a 75% majority.
*** As required under the Takeover Code, these resolutions had to be passed by the independent shareholders, therefore none of the members of the concert party voted on them.
