The For and Against voting figures above reflect the postal/electronic votes and directed proxies received as at 5pm on 7 November 2019. Shareholders have the right to change their vote at any time prior to the cut-off time for submitting postal/electronic votes and proxies, being 10am on 12 November 2019. Additionally, a shareholder who has appointed a proxy or cast a postal/electronic vote may nevertheless attend the meeting in person and vote as they see fit. The voting figures in the table above are therefore subject to change.

For votes to be effective, unless a shareholder attends the meeting in person, an appointment of proxy or postal/electronic vote must be received by 10.00AM on Tuesday, 12 November 2019.
