In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held. The scrutineer of the poll was Capita Asset Services, the Company's Share Registrar.
Note that a "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and have not been included in the calculation of votes "for" and "against" each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total.
