*includes discretionary votes

Over 99 per cent. of all votes received (excluding any voting rights held by Peter Kennedy or his affiliates) were against the Resolutions and supported the Board's recommendation. All of the Company's institutional shareholders have supported the Board.

The Chairman of the Board, John Grant, commented:

"Shareholders have expressed to the Board their frustration at the waste of Company resources incurred in the requisition of this General Meeting, which never had credible support from any shareholders apart from Peter Kennedy and his family.

I have assured Peter that the Board will always listen to the views of shareholders. I and my fellow directors hope this will encourage him to refrain from requisitioning further meetings, and to refrain from burdening Bglobal with additional and unnecessary expense."
