⁽¹⁾ Includes discretionary votes.

⁽²⁾ 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.

After ten years on the Board, Liz Airey, an independent Non-Executive Director, did not seek re-election at the AGM and therefore ceased to be a Director from the conclusion of the meeting.

On 27 July 2017, there were 465,684,612 ordinary shares (excluding Treasury Shares) and 2,394,000 preference shares (which have limited voting rights) in issue.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of the resolutions passed as special business at the AGM have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
