Notes:

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 total votes validly cast or the calculation of the proportion of issued share capital voted.

As at the voting record date, Headlam had 85,639,209 ordinary shares in issue, of which 85,120,927 held voting rights.

To calculate the proxy votes as a percentage of shares in issue, treasury shares were excluded.
