Any proxy appointments giving discretion to the Chairman of the
Meeting have been included in the "For" total.

rights) as at 8 December 2017 was 197,906,143 ordinary shares of
GBP0.0005 each. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per

Peter Kelly is regarded as a controlling shareholder of the
Company for the purposes of the LSE Listing Rules, and each

(ii) the independent shareholders of the Company, that is, all
the shareholders entitled to vote on each resolution excluding the
controlling shareholder.
