questions, at the appropriate time, during the meeting. As it
may not be possible to answer every question that members

matters of interest to shareholders are dealt with, I would like to
suggest that you use the attached question form to ask, in
advance, any question(s) of particular concern to you. We will
be able to assess the most popular topics from the question
forms returned, and I will endeavour to address them all at the

of course, not prevent you from raising questions, at the
appropriate time, during the meeting.
