Each of these resolutions were approved by the requisite majorities of Carnival plc Shareholders and Carnival Corporation Shareholders voting separately (and excluding the holder of the Carnival plc special voting share and the holder of the Carnival Corporation special voting share). The number of votes "FOR" and "AGAINST" resolutions that are class rights actions are therefore different and lower than the number of votes "FOR" and "AGAINST" resolutions that are joint electorate actions. 3  An "Abstained" vote is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" the resolution.
