As at 6.00pm on Tuesday 19 July 2016, the number of issued
shares in the Company was 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares, which was
the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote
for or against all the resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with
the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member
present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share
held.
There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any
of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes withheld are not
votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation
of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.
Pursuant to UK Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of all resolutions,
other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM
today have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
will shortly be available to view at
