* Special resolution of all shareholders

** Ordinary resolution of independent shareholders

The Company's registrar, Capita Asset Services, acted as scrutineer of the poll.

As at the date of the EGM, the Company had 870,112,016 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 870,112,016. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

Note that a "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and have not been included in the calculation of votes "for" and "against" each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "for" total.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of the resolutions will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

The full text of the resolutions passed at the EGM can be found set out in the Circular and Notice of EGM which is available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM

As a result of the resolution to re-register the Company as a private limited company and in line with the proposed Board composition of the private limited company, as set out in the Circular and Notice of Meeting, the Directors have accepted the resignations of Mr Robert Jenkins, Mr Frank Monstrey and Mr Maurice Dijols with immediate effect. The Board of Directors and the entire Company would like to thank the resigning Directors for their services to Ruspetro plc.
