* Indicates a Special Resolution requiring 75% of votes cast to be carried.

 

To view the full wording of the resolutions, please refer to the Notice of 2023 Annual General Meeting on the Company's website.

 

Votes "For" and "Against" are expressed as a percentage of votes cast. Votes "For" include discretionary votes. A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions passed other than resolutions concerning ordinary business will shortly be available for inspection on the National Storage Mechanism at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

 

On Monday 13 May 2024, the total number of issued ordinary shares of £0.001 each entitling the holders to attend and vote on all the resolutions at the AGM was 355,099,011.

 

While all resolutions were passed at today's AGM with a clear majority, the Board notes that Resolutions 17 and 18 received 21.48% of votes against. We intend to engage with relevant shareholders in due course to further understand their views. We will provide an update within six months as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code.
