Notes:

 

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

2.  The issued share capital figure used to calculate the percentage voted is 312,067,649.  This is the figure as at the close of business on 4 May 2021 and excludes the number of ordinary shares held in treasury at that date.

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.3R of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), a copy of the resolutions passed as Special Business at the AGM have been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will be available for public inspection at the National Storage Mechanism (NSM) https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
