Notes:

 
 (1)   The "for" votes include those giving the Chairman discretion. In 
        line with the notification issued to American Depositary Receipt 
        (ADR) holders last year, GSK did not instruct its ADR Depositary 
        to vote any unvoted ADRs in respect of the AGM resolutions. 
 (2)   Votes "for" and "against" are expressed as a percentage of the 
        total votes cast. 
 (3)   A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the 
        calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" a resolution. 
 (4)   Indicates Special Resolutions requiring a 75% majority.
