Notes:

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

2.     A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.

3.      The total issued share capital and total number of voting rights
is: 1,953,170,495 ordinary shares. Every shareholder has one vote for every
ordinary share held. This figure includes 128,350,796 ordinary shares in
issue, held as security by a group entity under the terms of the £275 million
exchangeable bond which will not vote whilst held by a group entity. On
average 73.53% (1,436,237,706 ordinary shares) of the total number of voting
rights voted. The percentage of shares voted, once the 128,350,796 ordinary
shares held as security by a group entity under the terms of the £275 million
exchangeable bond have been excluded was approximately 78.71%.

 

In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, copies of the
