1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the "For" total.

2. Percentages are rounded to two decimal places.

3. A "vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is therefore not counted towards the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" the resolution.

The voting figures will shortly be available on the Company's website at www.serco.com. A copy of the special business resolutions will be submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will, in due course, be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
