As at the date of the AGM, the number of ordinary shares in
issue, and therefore the total number of voting rights was
417,954,231
* 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.
Capitalised terms not defined in this announcement have the
meaning given to them in the explanatory circular published by the
Company in respect of the business proposed at the AGM (the "AGM
Circular").
As noted in the AGM Circular, since Sir Peter Wood, and any
concert party of Sir Peter Wood, are interested in the outcome of
Resolution 17, Sir Peter Wood, and any concert party of Sir Peter
Wood, were precluded from voting on Resolution 17.
As noted in the AGM Circular, the entry by the Company into each
of the Directors' Deed of Release and the Shareholders' Deed of
Release constitutes a related party transaction (as defined in the
UKLA Listing Rules) of the Company as each Relevant Director and
each Related Party Shareholder is a related party (as defined in
the UKLA Listing Rules) of the Company for the purposes of the UKLA
Listing Rules. As a result, the Relevant Distributions Resolution
was required to be approved by the Shareholders who are not
interested related parties. Accordingly, each Relevant Director,
each Related Party Shareholder and each of their associates were
precluded from voting on the Relevant Distributions Resolution.
Following the close of the AGM, and as described in the
Circular, the Company has entered into the Directors' Deed of
Release and the Shareholders' Deed of Release.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the
resolutions passed, other than resolutions concerning ordinary
business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
be available for inspection at:
