As the Company has a controlling shareholder (as defined in the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules), the resolutions to elect an independent director (being resolutions 7 and 8) have, under Listing Rule 9.2.2E, been approved by a majority of the votes cast by:
· the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and
· the independent shareholders of the Company, that is, all the shareholders entitled to vote on each resolution excluding the controlling shareholder.
Note: A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "for" and "against" a resolution.
The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this announcement is 199,054,325.
Resolutions 1 to 11 were ordinary resolutions, requiring more than 50 per cent. of shareholders' votes to be cast in favour of the resolutions. Resolutions 12 to 15 were special resolutions, requiring at least 75 per cent. of shareholders' votes to be cast in favour of the resolutions.
A copy of all the resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting has been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority via the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
