The Board notes that Resolutions 15 (Disapplication of
Pre-emption Rights - General) and 16 (Disapplication of Pre-emption
Rights - Acquisitions and Specified Capital Investments), which
were special resolutions requiring a 75% majority, did not receive
sufficient support to be passed.
These resolutions were in line with the updated Pre-Emption
Group's Statement of Principles and the Board considers the
flexibility afforded by these authorities to be in the best
interests of the Company. In accordance with Provision 4 of the UK
Corporate Governance Code, the Board confirms that it will consult
and continue to engage with the relevant shareholders to understand
and discuss their concerns with respect to these resolutions.
