Shareholders are being asked to approve
five resolutions at the AGM.
The Trusts' Boards believe that the five resolutions should be
approved.
The ordinary resolutions 1 - 4 require a vote over 50% in favour
to pass.
The special resolution 5 requires a vote over 75% in favour to
pass at the AGM.
In summary, the Trusts' Boards offer the following advice on
voting:
| Resolution |
Advice: Vote |
|
1 |
For |
|
2 |
For |
|
3 |
For |
|
4 |
For |
|
5 |
For |
Members may vote on these resolutions by either
completing and returning the paper reponse form mailed to them
or completing this electronic response form.
Responses to be received by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday 4th December
2007.
For each resolution, Members can vote for,
against, discretionary or withheld. The meaning of "for"
and "against" should be self-explanatory. If you vote
"discretionary" then you are mandating the Trusts'
Boards to vote according to their judgement at the AGM itself
and if you withhold your vote then the Trusts' Boards will not
include your vote when deciding how to vote the Trusts' shares.
The Supporters Trust and the Founders Trust
will vote their shares according to the democratic majority wishes
of each Trust's Members.
