As at 12.01am (London time) on Thursday 23 April 2015, the total number of ordinary shares of US$0.50 each eligible to be voted at the AGM was 19,276,984,434. There was no share entitling the holder to attend and abstain from voting in favour of any of the resolution as set out in Rule 13.40 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. No shareholder was required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules to abstain from voting. A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and has not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

The Board of Directors notes that resolution 2 relating to the approval of the 2014 Directors' Remuneration Report, received a vote of 76.29% in favour. As set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report, further significant regulatory changes to executive remuneration are expected from the UK's Prudential Regulatory Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority, as well as from the European Banking Authority during 2015. Once these changes are finalised, the Group Remuneration Committee will consider their effect on the current remuneration policy and will consult with shareholders to understand the reasons behind today's vote result and on any changes to be made to our remuneration policy for 2016.

Computershare Investor Services PLC acted as scrutineer of the poll on all resolutions.

Copies of the special business resolutions passed at the AGM have been submitted to the UK Listing Authority, and will shortly be available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's National Storage Mechanism which is located at http://www.hemscott.com/nsm.do

From the conclusion of the AGM, the following changes became effective:

Sir Simon Robertson stepped down as Senior Independent Director but will continue as Deputy Chairman. Sir Simon will also step down as chairman of the Group Remuneration Committee, chairman of the Nomination Committee and as a member of the Financial System Vulnerabilities Committee.

Rachel Lomax will become Senior Independent Director. She will also become a member of the Nomination Committee.

Sam Laidlaw will become chairman of the Group Remuneration Committee and chairman of the Nomination Committee.

As at the date of this announcement, the following are Directors of the Company: Douglas Flint, Stuart Gulliver, Phillip Ameen†, Kathleen Casey, Safra Catz, Laura Cha†, Lord Evans of Weardale†, Joachim Faber†, Rona Fairhead†, Sam Laidlaw†, John Lipsky†, Rachel Lomax†, Iain Mackay, Heidi Miller†, Marc Moses, Sir Simon Robertson† and Jonathan Symonds†.
