The number of ordinary shares in issue as at the date of this announcement is 129,645,549 with no ordinary shares held in treasury. As at the date of this announcement the Corporation's total voting rights therefore comprises 129,645,549 shares with one vote each.

A copy of the special resolutions, resolutions 14 and 15 (the "Resolutions") and the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts will be filed at Companies House. The Resolutions have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
