As at 11 November 2019 the Issued Share Capital of the Company
was 396,190,187 ordinary shares of 37.5p.
Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld
are not a vote in law and are therefore not counted in the
calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a
resolution. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their
proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour
of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the
"votes for" column.
Resolutions 1 to 16 and 21 were passed as ordinary resolutions
and resolutions 17 to 20 were passed as special resolutions.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions
(other than those resolutions comprising ordinary business) passed
by the Company at its AGM will be uploaded to the National Storage
Mechanism and will be available for inspection at
