The
number of the Company's shares in issue as at the date of the
meeting was 124,543,670 Ordinary Shares of 10p each.
Each
share carries one vote; a `vote withheld' is not a vote in law and
has not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the
votes for and against the resolution. Any proxy appointments which
gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the `votes for'
total.
In
accordance with UK Listing
Rule 9.6.2 copies of the special business resolutions passed at the
meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
shortly be available for inspection at its website:
