Notes:

A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of the votes validly cast for or against a resolution.

 

All resolutions put to the meeting were carried.

 

As at the time of the meeting, the Company had 188,751,257 ordinary shares of 20 pence each in issue and as such this has been used to calculate the percentage of votes in favour or against each resolution. Each of these shares carry one vote.  The Company held no shares in treasury.

Copies of the resolutions passed as special resolutions at the AGM will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism, which is located at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.  Appropriate filings will also be made at Companies House in due course.
