*Special Resolutions
Votes 'For' and 'Against' are expressed as a percentage of votes received. A vote 'withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution. Votes were cast for a total of 119,577,783 ordinary shares of 1 pence per share, representing 73.11% of the total number of votes capable of being cast at the AGM. The Company's issued share capital as at close of business on 29 April 2025, which was the voting record date for the meeting, was 163,567,621 ordinary shares and the number of votes per share is one. None of the Company's ordinary shares are held in treasury.
In compliance with paragraph 6.4.13R of the Listing Rules, copies of resolutions relating to the special business passed at the Meeting will be submitted for filing at the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection on their website at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
