* These figures include proxy votes. Where shareholders have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with discretion as to voting on the resolutions, those votes have been cast in favour of the relevant resolutions. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, withheld votes therefore do not form part of the total votes cast.
