Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not a vote in law and are therefore not counted in the calculation of the percentages of the votes cast for and against a resolution. Where shareholders appointed the Chairman as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the resolutions and their shares have been included in the "votes for" column.
As at the time of the AGM, the total issued share capital consisted of 271,233,024 ordinary shares of £0.01 each, which includes 7,015,000 ordinary shares held in treasury. Treasury shares do not carry voting rights, therefore the total number voting rights in the Company is 264,218,024.
In accordance with LR 9.6.2, a copy of the resolutions passed, other than resolutions concerning ordinary business, at today's AGM will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
