Notes
A 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is therefore not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
The total number of ordinary shares in issue at the close of business on 19 October 2020 was 324,554,653. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.
