Notes

1.     Votes "For" and "Against" are expressed as a percentage of votes received.

2.     A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

3.     As at close of business on Tuesday 23 May 2023, the time by which shareholders who wanted to vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company's register of members, there were 253,877,603 ordinary shares in issue and 84% of the voting capital was instructed, as set out in the table above. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. 

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of all the resolutions passed other than resolutions concerning ordinary business have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism.
