* Special Resolution
As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 333,381,480 ordinary shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 333,381,480. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held. The scrutineer of the poll was Capita Asset Services, the Company's Share Registrar.
Note that a "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and have not been included in the calculation of votes "for" and "against" each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions which constitute special business at the AGM (being resolutions 14-18) will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
