Where shareholders have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy with discretion as to voting, those votes have been cast in favour of the resolutions and are included in the total of those votes for.
It should be noted that the appointment of a proxy is not an unequivocally precise indicator of the way that shareholder would have voted on a poll; it reflects their intention at the time the instruction was given. Voting instructions can be given at any time prior to a poll being completed, and a shareholder may lodge a proxy vote and still attend the meeting and vote as they see fit.
