For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the votes validly cast are expressed in the table above as a percentage of the Corporation's total voting rights as at close of business on 26 March 2024, being the time at which shareholders had to be registered on the register of members in order to attend and vote at the AGM.  A vote "withheld" is not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or "against" a resolution.

The number of ordinary shares in issue as at the date of this announcement is  131,194,367 with no ordinary shares held in treasury. As at the date of this announcement the Corporation's total voting rights therefore comprises 131,194,367 shares with one vote each.

A copy of the special resolutions, resolutions 15, 16, 17 and 18 (the "Resolutions") and the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts will be filed at Companies House.
