Notes:

(a)  The appointment of a proxy is not a precise indicator of the way that the shareholder would have voted on a poll.  It merely reflects the shareholder's intention at the time the instruction was given.  Voting instructions can be changed at any time prior to a poll being completed and shareholders having lodged a proxy appointment are still entitled to attend the meeting and vote their shares themselves as they wish.
