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: 1,953,178,138 ordinary shares. Every shareholder has one vote for every
ordinary share held. This figure includes 128,350,793 ordinary shares held by
a Group entity, of which 127,008,786 are held as security under the terms of
the £275 million exchangeable bond. The 128,350,793 ordinary shares will not
vote whilst they are held by a group entity (the "Security Shares"). On
average 76.07% (1,485,869,541 ordinary shares) of the total number of voting
rights voted. The percentage of shares voted once the Security Shares have
been excluded was approximately 81.43%.

 

In accordance with 6.4.2 of the Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions
