Resolution 18, a special resolution relating to the disapplication of pre-emption rights, did not
achieve the necessary 75% majority and thus was not passed. Although this is a routine
resolution for public companies in the UK, the directors had no present intention of exercising
the proposed authority, as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting. The Company does
not therefore anticipate any consequences arising from the resolution not being passed. The
Company will discuss any concerns with those shareholders, predominantly outside the UK,
who voted against this resolution.
