A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" a resolution. The "Total votes as % of total voting rights" column shows the percentage that the Total Votes on that resolution represent of the total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue at the date of the AGM. The total number of voting rights attached to shares in issue at the date of the AGM excluding shares held in treasury was 573,325,319.
