*     Resolution 15 was put to the Meeting as a resolution of the
independent shareholders of the Company. As a result, 9,332,245 of the
ordinary shares in issue were eligible to vote on this resolution, these
shares not being held by the Concert Party (as defined in the Notice). The
waiver of Rule 9 granted by Resolution 15 permits the Concert Party's interest
in the Company's shares to increase from 31.07% to a maximum of 34.52% (in
each case representing 4,205,664 ordinary shares) as a result of the share
buyback authorised by Resolution 13 without requiring the Concert Party to
make a mandatory offer for the other shareholders' shares. The results of the
poll vote on this Resolution 15 were 7,456,958 votes for, 1,099,698 against,
39 abstentions, therefore with 87.15% in favour of the resolution.
