*Special Resolution
Notes:
1. The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.
2. Votes "for" include discretionary votes.
3. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a resolution.
4. The number of ordinary shares in issue at 10.00 am on 19 July 2021 was 578,757,121 of which none are held in treasury. Therefore the number of ordinary shares with voting rights at 10:00am on 21 July 2021 was 578,757,121.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of the resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed by the Company at the AGM held on 21 July 2021, has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
