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.

The total number of ordinary shares of 1p each in issue is 75,000,000. The
total held in treasury is 1,100,000. The total number of voting rights are
73,900,000.
