On 23rd April 2009 there were 8,388,423,494 ordinary shares in issue and 1,033 shareholders or persons representing shareholders attended the meeting. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not votes and, therefore, have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
