Notes to the disclosure

Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "For" total. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution. Unless the context otherwise requires, terms defined in the circular published by the Company in respect of the Annual General Meeting (and available on the Company's website) have the same meaning in this announcement.
