Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are to be considered as separate ordinary
resolutions. To be passed, those resolutions require the approval of
a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders entitled to

RESOLUTION 1: AUDITOR FEES AND EXPENSES
PwC are currently the Company’s auditors and will be automatically
reappointed under the Companies Act 1993. Under the Companies
Act, auditor fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner
determined at the Meeting. Shareholder approval is therefore
sought to authorise the Board to fix the fees and expenses of
PwC as auditor.
EXPLANATORY NOTES
RESOLUTIONS 2, 3 AND 4: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Listing Rules require that any person who is appointed as a Director by the Board shall retire
from office at the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting but shall be eligible for election at that
Meeting. Shawn Beck, Pramod Khatri and Simon Bennett were appointed to the Board during the
year and accordingly, each of them is standing for election by shareholders.
In order for a Director to be independent, the Board must determine that he or she is not an
executive of the Company and has no disqualifying relationship. The Board has determined that
Shawn and Pramod are Independent Directors and that Simon is a non-Independent Director
The Board unanimously supports the election of all three directors.
