Notes:
1. There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on
any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM.
2. Percentages are expressed as a proportion of the total votes
cast (which does not include votes withheld).
3. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not included in
the calculation of the votes 'For' or 'Against' the resolutions,
nor the total votes cast.
4. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair
have been included in the 'For' totals.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of all
