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 21 April 2026, the share capital of the Company consisted of a total of      516,731,514 ordinary shares made up of: (i) 495,279,915 ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each (excluding treasury shares), which carry one vote each; and (ii) 21,451,599 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 495,279,915.

 

3.   Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.

 

4.   The percentages above are rounded to two decimal places.

 

5.   Results of the poll will also be available shortly on the Company's website:  https://www.lseg.com/en/investor-relations/annual-general-meeting

 

6.   In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2, copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

 

7.   Resolution 23 authorises the capitalisation of all or part of the Company's merger relief reserve to increase the amount of distributable reserves available, with such amount to be applied to pay up in full one B ordinary share (the "Capital Reduction Share"). Resolution 24 authorises, subject to the confirmation of the Court, the cancellation of the Capital Reduction Share and the cancellation of the amount standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account, and that the amount of such reductions be credited to the retained earnings reserve of the Company.
