Resolutions 14 and 18 were special business and Resolutions 16 and 18were passed as Special Resolutions. 2. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have beenincluded in the "for" total. 3. The Chair was passed to the Senior Independent Director and DeputyChairman, Nick Hood for Resolution 2. 4. It should be noted that the appointment of a proxy is not anunequivocally precise indicator of the way that the shareholder would have votedon a poll, it merely reflects their intention at the time the instruction wasgiven. Voting instructions can be changed at any time prior to a poll beingdemanded and a shareholder, having lodged a proxy, is still entitled to attendthe Meeting and having heard/participated in the debate vote their sharesthemselves as they see it. 5. The "vote withheld" totals indicate those members who have abstained ona particular resolution. "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and has not beencounted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" aresolution.
