Notes:
|
1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total. 2. The Group's issued capital (excluding treasury shares) at the date of the meeting was 43,177,390 ordinary shares of 10p each. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote and, therefore, at the date of the meeting there were 43,177,390 voting rights in the Group. 3. A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "for" and "against" a resolution. 4. All percentages are shown to two decimal places. |
