Notes

 

1.   There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM.

2.   A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not included in the calculation of the votes 'For' or 'Against' the resolutions, nor the total votes cast.

3.   Percentages are expressed as a proportion of the total votes cast (which does not include votes withheld).

4.   Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the 'For' totals.

5.   The total number of shares on the register at the close of business on 19 May 2026, being those eligible to be voted on at the AGM, was 172,386,504.

 

In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, copies of all resolutions passed at the AGM today, other than those concerning ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, where they will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

 

The results will also be made available on the Company's website:
