* Includes discretionary votes.

** Rounded to two decimal places.

*** A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" the relevant Resolution.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote per Share. Where Shareholders appointed the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy with discretion as to voting, their votes were cast in favour of the Resolutions, and their Shares have been included in the "votes for" column.

The Company had 47,858,467 ordinary shares of 25 pence each in issue (and there were no shares held in treasury) at the voting record time for the Annual General Meeting. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company for the purpose of the Annual General Meeting comprised 47,858,467 votes.

The full text of the Resolutions is contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting set out in the circular in relation to the Annual General Meeting published by the Company on 2 June 2026 (the "AGM Circular").
