Where shareholders have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with discretion as to voting on the resolutions, those votes have been cast in favour of the relevant resolutions.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
Total number of shares in issue and eligible to be voted as at the meeting date: 948,219,083. Proxy appointments were received from the holders of 412,905,604 shares, representing approximately 43% of issued share capital (excluding 2,750,739 shares held in treasury).
Luxembourg law requires a quorum of members holding shares representing at least 50% of issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) to be present, in person or by proxy, for an extraordinary general meeting to amend the memorandum and articles of association of the Company to be validly constituted. Unfortunately, this quorum requirement was not met on this occasion and resolution 22 was therefore not put to a vote.
