As at 6.30pm on Friday 4 September 2020, the number of issued
shares in the Company was 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares. This was
the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote
for or against all the resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with
the Company's articles of association, on a poll every member
present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share
held.
There were no restrictions on shareholders casting votes on any
of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes withheld are not
votes in law. Therefore, they have not been counted in the
calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a
resolution.

other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM
today have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
