As required by the dual listed company structure, all resolutionswere treated as Joint Electorate Actions and were decided on a poll. Allresolutions at both meetings were passed. The voting results of the JointElectorate Actions are identical and are given below. Overall in excess of 62%of the total Group shares were voted. The directors have noted that the votes against resolutions 20, 21, 22, 29 and30 were higher than for other resolutions. These resolutions relate to theauthority to be given to directors to allot and issue shares. The voting is inline with the pattern Mondi has seen at previous Annual General Meetings.Having engaged with shareholders in this regard over recent years the directorsare aware that South African shareholders in particular (who represent over 44%of the total voting shares) have particular concerns about these types ofresolution. We understand from our engagement with shareholders that this isnot specific to Mondi and they routinely vote against such resolutions as amatter of policy.
