Notes:

1
Votes “For” and “Against” are expressed as a percentage of votes received.
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.
3
As at 11.00am on Tuesday 29 May 2018, the time by which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company’s register of members, there were 485,880,011 ordinary shares in issue. 87.10% of the issued, voting share capital was instructed.
4
Resolution 14 was put to the AGM as a resolution of the shareholders of the Company other than Olive Partners, S.A. (“ Olive ”) or any concert party of Olive.

In particular, in accordance with Section 6(A) of Appendix 1 to the Takeover Code, the Company announces that shareholders approved resolution 14, setting out the terms of the waiver of mandatory offer provisions in Rule 9 of the Takeover Code (the “ Waiver ”).

Olive is currently interested in 166,128,987 shares in the Company and the Waiver does not entitle Olive to be interested in a greater number of shares. The Waiver would allow Olive’s interest in shares as a percentage of the Company’s total shares to increase as a result of the exercise of the Company’s authorities to purchase its own shares, but only to the extent that the resulting interest of Olive, together with any concert parties, in the shares of the Company did not then exceed 38.0532%.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.3.6R, copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do
