¹ The Company notes that the voting rights adjustments under Article 6 and Article 23 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation were used in respect of resolutions 3, 4, and 5, but this did not affect the outcome of the shareholder vote.

 

*A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards the proportion of votes "for" or "against" the Resolution.

 

A copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
