Notes

1. Votes "For" and "Against" are expressed as a percentage of votes received. Any proxy appointments which gave the Chairman discretion have been included in the "For" total.

2. A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

3. Resolutions 1 to 13 were ordinary resolutions and resolutions 14 to 17 were special resolutions.

   4.     The number of ordinary shares in issue as at 30 October 2019 was 13,961,445. 

The Board is pleased that all resolutions have been passed but acknowledge that Resolution 3, the approval of the directors' remuneration report, received a significant number of votes against.

Based on the AGM vote and the Board's prior engagement with shareholders, the Board recognises the concerns raised and will continue to engage with shareholders and reflect on the feedback received.
