Results of Annual General Meeting

The Company announces that at its Annual General Meeting held on Thursday, 12 June 2025, all the resolutions set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting were passed by the requisite majority.

Resolutions 15 and 16 - approval of Rule 9 Waiver

The Board is grateful for the engagement of shareholders and proxy agencies in our consultation exercise ahead of the AGM and is pleased that all resolutions were passed. The Board notes that, although they were approved, Resolutions 15 and 16 relating to the Rule 9 Waiver received less than 80% support (but still in excess of 70% support). The Company will continue to engage with proxy advisers and shareholders, on the rationale and merits of the Rule 9 Waiver, however, it notes that proposing and adopting those resolutions is necessary in order for the company to be able to effectively implement Resolutions 11 and 17, which were strongly supported.
