NOTES:
1. The 'For' vote includes proxy appointments which gave the Chairman discretion on how to vote.
2. A vote 'Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution nor in the calculation of the percentage of the issued share capital voted for any resolution.
3. Resolutions 16 to 18 were Special Resolutions requiring a 75% majority.
4. As at 6.30 pm on 22 May 2018 the total number of ordinary shares in issue, and therefore total number of voting rights was 250,000,000. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury at that time.
