*Special Resolution

Notes:

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

2.     Votes "for" include discretionary votes.

3.     A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a resolution.

4.   The number of ordinary shares in issue at 11.00 am on 14 July 2026 was 517,229,405 of which none are held in treasury. Therefore, the number of ordinary shares with voting rights at 11:00am on 14 July 2026 was 517,229,405.

Resolution 7

Whilst Resolution 7, to re-elect Neil Johnson, was passed with a clear majority, the Board recognises that there was also a significant vote against this resolution. The Board will seek to engage with those shareholders who voted against to address their concerns.

The Board unanimously supports the Chair's re-election. We will continue to engage with shareholders and will publish an update in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, within six months of the AGM and a final summary will be provided in the Company's next Annual Report.

In accordance with Listing Rule 6.4.2R, a copy of the resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed by the Company at the AGM held on 16 July 2026, has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
