The total number of ordinary shares of 5p each in issue, at the time of the meeting was 109,114,651 of which 13,152,568 were held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights was 95,962,083. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not a vote in law and are therefore not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the "votes for" column.
