* based on total issued share capital (the "ISC") (excluding 325,273,407 ordinary shares held in treasury) as at 12.01am (London time) on Thursday 11 April 2019.

   2.       Board & Committee Changes 

Lord Evans of Weardale retired from the Board at the conclusion of the AGM. For the purposes of section 430(2B) of the Companies Act 2006, he will receive his pro-rata entitlement to non-executive director fees for the month of April 2019 and is not entitled to any payments for loss of office.

As a consequence of Lord Evans' retirement from the Board, Jackson Tai has been appointed as the Chair, and Kathleen Casey has been appointed as a member, of the Financial System Vulnerabilities Committee with effect from the conclusion of the AGM.

   3.       Other 

- Computershare Investor Services PLC, the Company's Share Registrar, acted as scrutineer of the poll on all resolutions.

- Copies of the resolutions passed at the AGM (other than resolutions concerning ordinary business) have been submitted to the UK Listing Authority, and will shortly be available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's National Storage Mechanism which is located at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

- As at 12.01am (London time) on Thursday 11 April 2019, the total number of issued ordinary shares of US$0.50 each entitling the holders to attend and vote on all the resolutions at the AGM was 20,235,585,854, which excludes 325,273,407 ordinary shares held in treasury. A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

- In accordance with Rule 13.40 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules there were no shares entitling the holder to attend and abstain from voting in favour of any of the resolutions. No shareholder was required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules to abstain from voting.

As at the time of this announcement, the following are Directors of the Company: Mark Tucker(*) , John Flint, Kathleen Casey , Laura Cha , Henri de Castries , Irene Lee , José Meade , Heidi Miller , Marc Moses, David Nish , Ewen Stevenson, Jonathan Symonds , Jackson Tai and Pauline van der Meer Mohr .
