Notes:
* 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.
** Indicates special resolutions requiring a 75% majority.
The Company notes that a significant number of votes have been
cast against resolutions 14, 15 and 16. In the case of resolutions
15 and 16, these votes will prevent the resolutions from being
passed, as these resolutions are special resolutions requiring at
least 75% of all votes cast by shareholders to be in favour of them
in order to pass. The Company is disappointed by this outcome, as
these resolutions are considered routine for UK listed companies
and would have renewed the disapplication authorities granted at
the Company's previous Annual General Meeting. The Company will
continue to engage with shareholders in order to fully understand
their views and explain why it considers these resolutions are in
shareholders' best interests as a whole.
Copies of the resolutions passed at the AGM, other than those
concerning ordinary business, will be submitted to the UK Listing
Authority and will in due course be available for inspection at
www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
Details of the votes received on the resolutions are available
on the Company's website at www.workspace.co.uk.
