(*) Special Resolution
Notes:
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 all the
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 the meeting and, having heard/participated in the debate,
vote their shares themselves as they see fit.
