Special resolutions (11 to 14)
Note 1 - The "For" vote includes those giving the Chairman discretion.
Note 2 - A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
The Board notes that Resolution 4 "Re-election of Jock Lennox" was passed with less than 80% of the votes in favour. In the coming months, the Board will undertake (as is offered annually) consultations with certain of the Company's shareholders to address any ongoing concerns they may have. Once the overall picture has been assimilated the Company will report to the market on the views received and actions undertaken.
