Results of Annual General Meeting

BTG announces that at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held today, 26 July 2022, all resolutions set out in the Notice of the AGM were passed by the requisite majority of votes. A poll was taken on the resolutions put to the meeting.

The results of the poll for each resolution, incorporating proxy votes lodged in advance of the meeting, were as follows:

Notes:

Proxy appointments giving discretion to the Chair of the meeting have been included in the "For" total.

A vote "Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

The Company's total ordinary shares in issue (total voting rights) as at 22 July 2022, being the record date at which a person had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to vote at the AGM, was 239,482,333 ordinary shares of £0.01 each. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per ordinary share held.
