Notes:

The percentages of votes 'For' and 'Against' each resolution are expressed as a percentage of the total of (1) the votes 'For' and votes 'Against' the resolution (together the 'Total Votes'). A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.

The 'Total votes as % of total voting rights' column shows the percentage that the Total Votes on that resolution represent of the total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue at the date of the AGM. The total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue at the date of the AGM excluding shares held in treasury was 573,632,756.

In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authorities Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions passed other than resolutions concerning ordinary business have been submitted today to the National Storage Mechanism ('NSM') and will shortly be available for inspection on the NSM's website at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
