A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against" any resolution.

Resolution 4, an Ordinary Resolution to re-appoint Simon Ashby-Rudd as a Director of the Company in accordance with Article 131 of the Articles of Association, was withdrawn given Mr Ashby-Rudd's decision to step down from the Board as announced on 14 June 2024.

Resolution 7, a Special Resolution granting the directors authority to allot shares on a non-pre-emptive basis, and which required 75 per cent of the votes cast to be in favour in order to pass, has failed.

Graham Lyon, Executive Chairman, commented:

"It is unfortunate that Resolution 7, to provide customary flexibility in relation any future issues of equity which the Board considered to be in the best interests of shareholders failed to receive the necessary support. Notwithstanding the resultant limitations, the Company will continue to engage with shareholders, including in the event that additional shareholder authority is required."
