* As announced by RNS on 21 April 2023, the Company confirms that the resolution to re-elect Fiona Clutterbuck as a Director of the Company (Resolution 8 of the Notice) is now withdrawn. The withdrawal of Resolution 8 did not otherwise affect the validity of the Notice, the proxy form or any proxy votes already submitted on other resolutions. The numbering of all other proposed resolutions at the Annual General Meeting remained unchanged.

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 and against a resolution.  

As at 18:30 (UK time) on 23 May 2023, the number of voting shares of the Company was 2,360,631,744 ordinary shares, which was the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote 'for' or 'against' all the resolutions at the AGM. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll, every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.
