Notes:
(i) Resolutions 1 to 15 were ordinary resolutions, requiring more than 50% of shareholder votes to be 'for' the resolutions.
(ii) Resolutions 16 to 18 were special resolutions, requiring not less than 75% of shareholder votes to be 'for' the resolutions.
(iii) Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total.
(iv) 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.
The Board of Directors notes the significant minority vote against Resolution 16 and intends to further engage with the Company's major shareholders to better understand the reasons behind the vote result.
