Notes:

1.    As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 460,483,231 ordinary
shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore
the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 460,483,231.

2.    The scrutineer of the voting was Link Asset Services, the Company's
Share Registrar.

3.    Note that a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and such votes have
not been included in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' each
resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been
included in the 'for' total above.
