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

The issued share capital as at 7 June 2018 was 611,660,018. The total number of proxy votes cast was 430,445,157 which represents 70.37% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Company has considered the results of the AGM today and notes the level of votes cast against the directors' remuneration policy, authority to allot shares and disapplication of pre-emption rights.

Further consultation with shareholders is planned in the Autumn in relation to the performance criteria for the PSP awards.

The Company intends to continue to split the resolutions in relation to the authority to allot shares at future meetings to allow shareholders to fully express their views. The Company will also consider the format of the resolution to disapply pre-emption rights and whether it is appropriate in future years to put this resolution to shareholders.

John Leach, our Chairman, said: 'We have listened to our shareholders and we understand their concerns. We are committed to working with shareholders to address the issues raised going forward'.
