Notes

 

1.   Please note a 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

 

2.   As at 6.30pm on 25 April 2023, the issued share capital of the Company consisted of a total of 552,851,953 ordinary shares made up of: (i) 501,727,576 voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each (excluding treasury shares), which carry one vote each; and (ii) 51,124,377 limited-voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each, which carry one-tenth of a vote each. The Company also holds 5,392,071 of its ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in LSEG as at that time were 506,840,013.

 

3.   Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Limited-voting ordinary shareholders are entitled one-tenth of a vote per share.
