In accordance with the terms of the Panel Waivers, only the Independent Shareholders were entitled to vote on the Waiver Resolutions (being resolutions 19 and 20 above) and votes on these resolutions were taken by poll. Therefore, any votes by any members of the Concert Party in respect of the Waiver Resolutions were not taken into account.

 

The result of the poll on the Waiver Resolutions was as follows:

 

19 - To approve the waiver by the Takeover Panel of any obligation which might arise on the Concert Party to make a general offer as a result of market purchases of ordinary shares

 

24,250,316

92.14

2,069,448

20 - To approve the waiver by the Takeover Panel of any obligation which might arise on the Concert Party to make a general offer as a result of the exercise of New Concert Party Options

24,247,023

92.12

2,072,741

7.88

32,104,126

 

Neville Registrars was appointed as the scrutineer for vote-taking at the Annual General Meeting. All other resolutions were passed by a show of hands. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against any resolution.

 

In accordance with Appendix 1 of the Takeover Code the Company confirms that assuming full utilisation of the Share Buyback Authority (granted under resolution 18) and full exercise of the New Concert Party Options (being new options over Ordinary Shares to be granted under the Company's enterprise management incentive scheme rules to Neil Rodol), and assuming no other changes to the issued share capital of the Company occur, Neil Rodol (being a member of the Concert Party) will hold approximately 0.3% of the total voting rights in the Company and the Concert Party's aggregate interest will increase to approximately 44.25 per cent. of the Company's total voting rights. Following the passing of the Waiver Resolutions, Neil Rodol and the Concert Party have been granted waivers of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code by the Takeover Panel in respect of these increases in their interests in Ordinary Shares in the Company.

 

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the circular published by the Company on 22 May 2026.
