There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. 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.

Copies of all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM will be submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will be available to view at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
