* Special Resolutions
** 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.
The Board notes that although Resolution 19 (Disapplication of pre-emption rights) was passed and approved by the majority of shareholders, slightly more than 20% of the votes were cast against the Board's recommendation on the resolution. The resolution follows the relevant provisions of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles for the disapplication of pre-emption rights and reflects UK listed company market practice. Directors were not seeking the maximum authority permitted by the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, but rather, at a level that is consistent with the approach taken in recent years and which would provide the Directors with a degree of flexibility. The Board is mindful of the views expressed by a number of its South African shareholders. We will engage with relevant shareholders in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code and will provide an update within six months of the Annual General Meeting.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2R, resolutions 16 and 17 constitute special business and have therefore been uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
