Note to the disclosure
It should be noted that the appointment of a proxy is not an unequivocally precise indicator of the way that the shareholder would have voted on a poll, it merely reflects their intention at the time the instruction was given. Voting instructions could be changed at any time prior to any poll being demanded, and a shareholder having lodged a proxy was still entitled to attend the meeting and, having heard/participated in the debate, vote their shares themselves as they saw fit. There were no polls called for at the meeting.
