Notes to the disclosure:
(1) 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 relevant resolutions.
(2) It should be noted that the appointment of a proxy is not an unequivocally precise indicator of the way that the shareholder would have voted on a poll, it merely reflects their intention at the time the instruction was given. Voting instructions can be changed at any time prior to a poll being completed and a shareholder having lodged a proxy appointment is still entitled to attend a meeting and, having heard/participated in the debate, vote their shares themselves as they see fit.
