The maximum number of votes cast was 512,109,893 representing 88.24% of the Company's issued share capital of 580,303,475 as at 6pm on 12 September 2025.

As noted in the Company's update this morning, the Company proposes to shortly commence a share buyback programme of its ordinary shares for up to £10m (the "Programme").  Shareholders have now renewed the authority for the Company to do so (as per resolution 16 above).  The Company confirms that it has filed interim accounts with Companies House for the period ended 15 August 2025. The purpose of the accounts is to demonstrate that sufficient distributable reserves are available for the upcoming Programme, in accordance with sections 836 and 838 of the Companies Act 2006. These accounts are for the Company only and do not constitute consolidated group accounts. Once published at Companies House, the Company expects to announce commencement of the Programme.
