Notes:
(1) Where shareholders appointed the chairman of the meeting as
their proxy with discretion as to voting, these votes have been
cast in favour of all resolutions.
(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) Resolutions 13, 15, 16 and 17 are Special Resolutions requiring a 75% majority.
You can see from our proxy voting results above that a number of
votes cast oppose resolution 14, to allot shares and resolution 16,
the additional authority to allot shares without pre-emption
rights. Although both votes are carried, we consider a 20% vote
against any resolution to be significant. We plan to follow up with
our major investors over the near future to understand the reason
behind the vote result and to agree how to respond. We will
announce our response within the next six months, as required by
the Governance Code.
