Lord Turnbull did not stand for re-election as a Director, and has stepped down from the Board with effect from the conclusion of the AGM.
 
As at 6.00pm on 12 May 2015, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,570,985,969 ordinary shares, which was the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against all the resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.
 
There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against a resolution.
 
Copies of all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM on 14 May 2015 have, pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.2 of the UK Listing Rules, been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available to view at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do
