Voting on substantive resolutions tabled at a general meeting is on a poll. On a poll, shareholders present in person or by proxy have two votes for every
£5 in nominal amount of the first and second preference shares held and one vote for every ordinary share held. On a show-of-hands vote on other
resolutions (procedural matters) at a general meeting, shareholders present in person or by proxy have one vote each.
In the event of the winding up of the company, preference shareholders would be entitled to a sum equal to the capital paid up on the preference
shares plus an amount in respect of accrued and unpaid dividends and a premium equal to the higher of (i) 10% of the capital paid up on the preference
shares and (ii) the excess of the average market price of such shares on the London Stock Exchange during the previous six months over par value.
