 *special resolution

As previously announced, having served her nine-year tenure, Katrina Hart did not stand for re-election at the AGM. The Board thanks Katrina for her invaluable contribution and wishes her well for the future. The Board is also pleased to welcome Kavita Patel, who was appointed as a Director of the Company with effect from today. Her experience and range of skills will complement and further strengthen the existing Board in the future.

The Board notes that more than 20 per cent. of votes were cast against Resolution 9, in addition, votes against were also received regarding the re-appointment of the other directors. It is the Company's understanding that a significant proportion of these votes came from a single institution. In accordance with the requirements of the AIC Code of Corporate Governance, the Board is engaging with the relevant shareholders to understand the specific reasons for the votes cast against the Board's recommendations. A further statement will be made in the Company's half-yearly results. It is the Board's understanding that the votes were cast against potential participation in a corporate event. It should be noted that although the votes cast against the resolution represent 20.49 per cent. of the votes cast at the AGM, where the total votes received were 23.32 per cent. of share capital, they represent 4.78 per cent. of the register in total.  The Board and its advisers remain firmly of the view that participation in the corporate event, had it been capable of implementation, was in the interests of AEWU shareholders and would have been positive for the Company
