Following the Annual General Meeting which was held today, we are pleased to
announce that resolutions 1 to 10 and 12 put to shareholders were passed on a
vote on a show of hands. Resolutions 9 and 10 are ordinary resolutions under
special business and resolution 12 is a special resolution, as follows:

(Res.9) To resolve that the Company continue in being as an investment trust
(Res. 10) To grant the Directors authority to allot shares
(Res. 12) To authorise the Directors to purchase the Company's shares for
cancellation or to be held in treasury.

Resolution 11, a special resolution, failed to achieve sufficient votes and,
consequently, was not passed:

(Res. 11). To authorise the Directors to disapply pre-emption rights in respect
of issues of new shares or the sale of shares out of treasury.
