Notes:
1. The Company appreciates the support given for the re-election of Adrian Li (Resolution 11). As previously advised, Adrian Li will be stepping down as a Non-Executive Director of the Company ahead of its 2021 AGM. Adrian has made a substantial contribution during his seven years of service since joining the Board in 2013 and consistently demonstrates sustained commitment and availability. As a Hong Kong national and resident with global banking experience as well as legal and financial qualifications, Adrian brings a uniquely diverse insight to the Board and provides invaluable insight into Far Eastern and emerging markets and supply chains. Adrian devotes significant time to Berkeley outside Board meetings and contributes strongly during ad hoc periods of increased activity, as has been notably evident during recent times of unprecedented and increased challenge during Covid-19 and following the death of the Company's Chairman and founder. The Board is grateful for Adrian's strong and consistent commitment and contribution. The Company is currently in the process of identifying a successor for Adrian, and will be seeking to match as closely as possible the very special and almost unique skills, attributes and diversity that Adrian continues to bring to Berkeley during his tenure.
2. Votes 'In Favour' include those votes giving discretion to the Chairman.
3. The number of Ordinary Shares in issue at close of business on 2 September 2020 (excluding shares held in Treasury) was 125,706,982. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes validly cast.
4. Copies of the resolutions passed will shortly be available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism at:
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which can be located in the Investor Information section of the Company's website www.berkeleygroup.co.uk.
