of 10 pence each in issue at the date of this announcement is
141,435,216. The total number of ordinary shares with voting
rights, at the date of this announcement, is

Shareholders are entitled to one vote
per share. Votes withheld are not a vote in law and are therefore
not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast
for and against a resolution. Where shareholders appointed the
Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes
were cast in favour of the resolutions and their shares have been
included in the "votes for" column.
