Notes:
1) Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolution and their shares have been included in the 'votes for' column.
2) Total voting rights of shares in issue (at close of business on 9 June 2017) were 360,150,225.
3) A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
