i.    As at 6.30pm on Tuesday 12 May 2026, the time by which shareholders who wanted to vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company's register of members, there were 1,387,762,363 ordinary shares in issue (including shares which had been bought back by the Company and were pending cancellation). Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share on a poll.

 

ii.    Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.

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