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. Total voting rights of shares in issue: 846,123,217. Every shareholder has one vote for every ordinary share held.
Following the approval of the 2016 final dividend, it is confirmed that the scrip dividend alternative will be
offered to shareholders in respect of the dividend.
The Board notes that, although resolutions 18 and 19 were passed with the requisite majorities, 44.32% and
20.39% respectively of votes received were against each resolution. This voting outcome reflects differing
market practice between the UK and South Africa. As a UK premium listed company, the Board considers it
appropriate to seek authorities in line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines,
to allow the Company to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance
business opportunities as they arise. However, market practice for South African institutional shareholders is to
vote on proposed allotments of shares on a case by case basis.
In accordance with paragraph 9.6.2 of the Listing Rules, copies of the resolutions passed at the meeting, other
than resolutions concerning ordinary business, have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will
shortly be available for inspection at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
