Resolution 18 was withdrawn at the start of the meeting and accordingly no formal vote was held. We are consulting with shareholders in relation to this resolution.
* 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 Listing Rules, a dual vote was carried out and the figures shown are net of the votes of the controlling shareholder.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.3(1), two copies of the resolutions (other than those resolutions comprising ordinary business) passed by the Company at its Annual General Meeting ('AGM') held on 10th October 2019 have been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority.
