1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been
included in the "For" total.

2. Percentages are rounded to two decimal places.

3. A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards
the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" the resolution.

 

The voting figures will shortly be available on the Company's website at
www.serco.com (http://www.serco.com) . A copy of the special business
resolutions will be submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will, in due
