NOTES:
*All resolutions were passed on a show of hands. 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 if a poll had been held, it merely reflects his/her intention at the time the instruction was given. Voting instructions can be changed at any time prior to a poll being demanded and a shareholder, having lodged a proxy, may still attend the meeting and vote his/her shares him/herself as seen fit.
**The "For" vote includes those votes giving the Chairman discretion.
