A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is, therefore, not included in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution. The 'for' vote includes those giving the Chairman discretion.

The total number of voting rights as at voting record date were 450,000,000 shares of £0.01 each.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of the resolutions passed as special business will shortly be available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

A copy of the voting results shown above are also available on the Company's website at www.investors.countrysideproperties.com.
